In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers from National Taiwan University report that a ...

A time crystal as seen under a microscope. A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples ...

Researchers describe a method to fabricate single-crystal vases several microns in size. The molecules spontaneously grow into the structures after drop-casting. This work may allow new experiments in ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals.

Chemists discovered that a seemingly solid, nonporous crystal can 'come alive' when heated. A two-step transformation ...

Scientists put carbon in a deep frozen magnetic field to create Wigner crystals. This elusive state results from electrons trying to escape each other in a small space. To capture the crystals, ...

Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.

Although caffeine is the most widely used drug in the world, many people may not know what the substance actually looks like. In April 2024, a post on Reddit (archive) claimed to show "Caffeine ...

Liquid crystals are familiar to most of us as the somewhat humdrum stuff used to make computer displays and TVs. Even for scientists, it has not been easy to find other ways of using them.
