The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

Researchers are analyzing the new find at the mine in northern Botswana and paying attention to a quality never before ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and optical sensing. Ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths are routinely ...

While Boyce’s crystal may be the largest single crystal of copper sulfate, students at the Kurfrüst-Ruprecht-Gymnasium in Germany hold the record for overall size. Their polymorphic crystal reached 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 ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

The material exhibits an exceptionally low lattice thermal conductivity of ~0.18 W/m·K, placing it among the lowest known for crystalline solids.

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

"We are moving from post-diction to prediction," said Raghu Kulkarni. "These papers demonstrate that the confusing constants ...

Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis is widely regarded as a key technology for large-scale green hydrogen production due to its high efficiency and rapid response to intermittent renewable ...
