Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are ...

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

From integrated photonics to quantum information science, the ability to control light with electric fields—a phenomenon ...

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

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 cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b ...

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.

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