Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a ...

Chances are that all your encounters with frozen water—while trudging through slushy winter streets, perhaps, or treating yourself to cool summer lemonades—have been confined to one structural form of ...

Researchers at the Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba, have developed an accessible platform to overcome the limitations of conventional static docking simulations, offering new ...

UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...

What can space ice teach scientists about finding life beyond Earth? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review B hopes to address as a team of researchers from the University College ...

A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine learning algorithm, ShotgunCSP, that enables fast and accurate prediction of ...

When you think of glass, you probably picture something fragile and brittle, not a material built for high-stress electromechanical components. However, researchers at Germany's Saarland University ...

“Reactive Noble-Gas Compounds Explored by 3D Electron Diffraction: XeF 2 −MnF 4 Adducts and a Facile Sample Handling Procedure” Since Bartlett’s discovery, which is commemorated with an International ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
