RECENTLY, with the increase of the resolving power of the electron microscope, it has become possible to make a direct observation of a crystal lattice composed of large molecules. J. W.

High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

In this work, we investigate the effects on microstructure, grain size, crystal structure, and stoichiometry when trace amounts of Fe in the form of Fe2O3 are added to UO2. Sintering of compacts with ...

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

“By using cutting-edge atomistic modeling, we found that placing scandium atoms in a regular array along a specific crystal ...

The crystal has a lattice parameter of 0.541 nm. The crystal structure is also known as diamond cubic and may be thought of as two interpenetrating fcc lattices, one for sulphur the other for zinc, ...

Diamonds are forever, but how about helium? The diamond anvil crushed iron and helium together under conditions mimicking ...
