Chinese researchers have developed a new type of optical crystal that could help address several major supply chain bottlenecks.
Liquid crystals are a unique state of matter that bridge the gap between conventional liquids and crystalline solids. Their distinctive organised molecular structures afford anisotropic properties ...
Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...
Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have discovered a new class of materials – called intercrystals – with unique electronic properties that could power future technologies. Intercrystals ...
Aug. 19 (UPI) --Crystals can acquire a variety of novel electric qualities when enhanced with just a bit of gold -- or any other noble metal -- according to a study published Wednesday in the journal ...
Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...
These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.
A new set of simple equations can fast-track the search for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a Nobel-Prize-winning class of nanoporous materials that are promising candidates for clean hydrogen energy ...
Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 100–200 nm) light sources are indispensable for advanced spectroscopy, quantum research, and ...
