"Ice in the rest of the universe has long been considered a snapshot of liquid water – that is, a disordered arrangement fixed in place. Our findings show this is not entirely true." ...

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as previously assumed, a completely disordered material like liquid water, ...

I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

New work could help in the development of materials that host exotic coherent quantum states under ambient conditions ...

Another structure refined to 2.15 Å resolution displays complete phosphoryl transfer to the substrate. These structures, in addition to trapping both products in the crystal lattice, implicate one ...

We propose a wide angle, efficient and low loss 1 × 3 power splitter based on triangular lattice air holes silicon slab Photonic Crystal (PhC). Desired power splitting ratio was achieved by altering ...

Diamonds have a reputation as one of the hardest materials known to man, which is undoubtedly true, but they're not as tough as you think they are.
