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

Researchers at UC Berkeley have observed a time-rondeau crystal, where long-term temporal order coexists with short-term ...

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

For materials that exist only as a powdered crystal, solving these structures becomes much more difficult because the fragments don't carry the full 3D structure of the original crystal. "The precise ...

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 ...

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, conventional methods are computationally intensive and ...

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 ...

Rice University postdoctoral research associate Jianwei Huang with the laboratory apparatus he used to conduct angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments on a copper-vanadium alloy. The ...
