A new technical paper “High Pressure and Compositionally Directed Route to a Hexagonal GeSn Alloy Class” was published by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, GFZ Helmholtz Centre for ...

Electronics waste energy when handling light and electricity. A new material helps reduce this loss and improve system ...

In a major step for Chinese scientific engineering, the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry has unveiled the country's first domestically developed system for analyzing the structures of ...

A major upgrade to the LHCb experiment at CERN is under threat after the UK cancelled its contribution towards it. The decision by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to defund the ...

Bridging quantum mechanics and crystallography, quantum crystallography offers precise analysis of crystalline materials, impacting various scientific fields.

When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it ...

Minerals form the building blocks of almost everything on Earth. They are made up of crystals—regular, repeating atomic ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

A study using EBSD and TEM imaging found that “b” dislocations in olivine occur in roughly 17% of analyzed crystals. These ...

A new study led by the University of Liverpool examined olivine to better understand how it deforms. The researchers were surprised to find that about 17% of the crystals showed evidence of ...

A long-standing problem in seeing fast electron motion is solved, opening new paths for better superconductors and faster ...

Minerals form the building blocks of almost everything on Earth. They are made up of crystals - regular, repeating atomic structures that fit together ...
