For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

Using a diamond as a quantum simulator, scientists created a rondeau time crystal, which exhibited both long-range temporal ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Over on ScienceDaily we learn that an international team of scientists have turned a common semiconductor germanium into a superconductor. Researchers have been able to make the semiconductor ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. While some database administrators are mum about ...

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without breaking. Their secret lies in tiny, line-like defects called dislocations, ...
