A fundamental goal of physics is to explain the broadest range of phenomena with the fewest underlying principles. Remarkably ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a groundbreaking technique to manipulate electrons within materials using artificial ...

Goodtzow (NATURE, 119, 494; 1927), that quenched carbon steels contain a phase with a tetragonal crystal structure ... corresponding to the tetragonal lattice are not resolved, but in photograms ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs ...

Named after 19ty century Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski, perovskite materials have a crystal-lattice structure of inorganic molecules like that of ceramics, along with organic molecules that are ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing ...
