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 ...

Recent research published in Science introduces a promising solid electrolyte material that could improve the performance of ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered a way to make all-solid-state batteries safer and more powerful using inexpensive ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
