Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or ...

The rapidly growing field of research on chiral phonons is giving researchers new insights into the fundamental behaviors and structures of materials. The chirality of phonons could pave the way for ...

Researchers have made germanium superconducting for the first time, a feat that could transform computing and quantum ...

Meet Ice XXI, a newly identified form of ice that can exist at room temperature (albeit very briefly). Creating it is no ...

Crystal structure prediction (CSP) of organic molecules is a critical task, especially in pharmaceuticals and materials science. However, ...

A team of researchers has discovered a new way to make valuable industrial chemicals from propylene using a common, low-cost ...

This picture shows the crystal structure of the superconducting film in this study. The Cooper pairs are shown as balls with paired opposite arrows in it. The Cooper pairing strength is stronger at ...

Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...

Scientists used high-performance TEM to image the process of gold atoms assembling into nanocrystals. It was discovered that the atoms undergo a spontaneous transition between disordered and ...
