Scientists have categorized 18 different types of ice so far, each with its own unique crystalline structure and unique arrangement of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Now another, by the name of ice ...

Researchers developed a crystal that inhales and exhales oxygen like lungs. It stays stable under real-world conditions and ...

A team of scientists from Korea and Japan has discovered a new type of crystal that can "breathe"—releasing and absorbing oxygen repeatedly at relatively low temperatures. This unique ability ...

However, the crystal structures of solid hydrogen formed under high pressure are still under contention owing to the difficulty in conducting experiments involving high-pressure hydrogen.

Structure solution The crystal structure of human HO-1 was solved with phasing from single-wavelength scattering from the heme iron.

"Most liquid-crystal-based devices are made from single-layer structures, but this limits light field modulation to a confined area," said research team leader Fan Fan from Hunan University in China.

A metal is comprised of many individual crystals, or grains. These crystals are held together by electrons in the same way that electrons hold the atoms within each crystal together. For more on ...

We have solved the crystal structure of the Holliday junction resolving enzyme T7 endonuclease I at 2.1 Å resolution using the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion (MAD) technique. Endonuclease I ...

First direct measurements suggest that lonsdaleite, also called hexagonal diamond, is the strongest and hardest mineral found in nature.
