Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

The following table lists representative single-crystal materials we have synthesized using flux, floating-zone or electrochemical technique. We have provided single-crystal samples to more than 60 ...

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 100–200 nm) light sources are indispensable for advanced spectroscopy, quantum research, and semiconductor lithography. Although second harmonic generation (SHG) using ...

Inorganic crystal materials, for example, may show enormous promise once you first synthesize them, but all this potential could lead nowhere if the crystals don't remain stable; it's no good ...

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists at CU Boulder have created shimmering “time-moving” crystals from liquid crystal materials, revealing a new form of ...

A Chinese research team has successfully developed ammonium fluorooxoborate (ABF), a high-performance nonlinear optical crystal designed for vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV) generation. The new material ...

The article discusses how increasing disorder in the atomic structure of materials influences macroscopic heat conduction — a critical property for heat-management technologies. The materials studied ...
