Crystals don't always grow the way we thought. A team of researchers has just discovered a new type of crystal that shatters ...

Meet “Zangenite,” a hollow crystal structure named in honor of the NYU graduate student who discovered it. Crystals, whether ...

More broadly, a deeper understanding of how crystals form holds promise for developing new materials, including photonic bandgap materials that are foundational for lasers, fiber-optic cables ...

While classical theories of how crystals form and grow have been long established for a range of materials, they provide an ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, including Assistant Professor Shuolong ...

The discovery hinges on a rising technique in modern physics called “twistronics,” where layers of materials are contorted at ...

The AI model, called Graph Networks for Materials Exploration ... there were 400,000 crystals that were in their most stable form, with no lower-energy form possible. Some less stable crystals ...

Superelasticity — a form of elasticity that involves a phase transition — has been observed for the first time in a pure organic crystal. The material could find applications in microfluidics.

A research team, led by Professor Hyeon Jeong Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST, has ...
