The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

University of British Columbia (UBC) scientists have demonstrated a reversible way to switch the topological state of a ...

Developing and manufacturing effective, safe, reliable new drugs or critical new materials for use in semiconductors or applications involving dangerous materials requires many layers of knowledge.

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

What is X-Ray Crystallography? X-ray crystallography is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials. It involves directing a beam of X ...

A new study reveals that PtBi2, an otherwise ordinary-looking crystal, hosts an entirely new form of superconductivity ...

A team of scientists in South Korea and Japan has developed a crystal that can literally “breathe” oxygen, a discovery that could revolutionize clean energy technologies, smart devices, and ...

Researchers engineered a strained germanium layer on silicon that allows charge to move faster than in any silicon-compatible ...
