In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...

Researchers have created a record-breaking "time crystal"—a bizarre phenomenon that sounds as if it came straight out of science fiction. A team from Germany's Technical University of Dortmund ...

Make Valentine’s Day magical! Learn how to grow heart-shaped borax crystals with this easy ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds ...

We expect crystals to be rigid and brittle, so scientists were shocked when some of their crystals seemed to come alive under a microscope. They hope to use the unusual behavior to make tiny machines ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Beautiful lights are emitted by peeling, twisting, rubbing and flicking the amorphous copper complex films. These materials hold potential in industrial engineering and safety applications. In the 17 ...
