Discovery of new material could someday aid in nuclear nonproliferation. A newly discovered quasicrystal that was created by the first nuclear explosion at Trinity Site,…
Periodic pattern consisting of magnons is formed at room temperature. A team of researchers has succeeded in creating a micrometer-sized space-time crystal consisting of magnons…
ITMO University scientists have conducted several experiments to investigate polymeric quasicrystals that ultimately confirmed their initial theory. In the future, the use of quasicrystals may…
Crystallization is the physical phenomenon of the transformation of disordered molecules in a liquid or gas phase into a highly ordered solid crystal through two…
Controlling crystal growth for innovations in medicine, engineering. While crystals have been studied for centuries and are ubiquitous in daily life — they are in…
Quantum computers are getting closer to reality as scientists created the ion crystal that will allow this quantum simulator to perform calculations that eclipses the…
Superconductivity, a phenomenon that works only at temperatures close to absolute zero, has been proven to work at higher temperatures, as much as 70 kelvin….
Sandia has found another use for their decontamination foam that was used to decontaminate federal office buildings and mailrooms during the 2001 anthrax attacks. Researchers…
A team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland discovered an iron-based superconductor capable of operating at…
Researchers at MIT have developed a new power source by making a high-temperature version of materials called photonic crystals. By using metals such as tungsten…
A team of scientists from John Hopkins University and McNeese State University have determined that when 32 units of lead sulfide, PbS, molecules assemble together,…
