Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

This is where things get really exciting. Nanomaterials are like tiny delivery trucks and super-powered microscopes for ...

The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from the Greek word adámas, meaning unbreakable. Scientists have now engineered a ...

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

Researchers at Kumamoto University and Nagoya University have developed a new class of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using triptycene-based molecules, marking a breakthrough in ...
