Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

Crystal structures are the ordered, three‐dimensional arrangements of atoms or molecules that define a solid’s properties. Research in this area encompasses not only the inherent geometrical and ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

The research team has successfully achieved the following breakthroughs in the well-known anthracene [4+4] photocycloaddition ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Hebei University have optimized the nucleation process by regulating the interactions between the epitaxial layer and the substrate.
