A research team at POSTECH has developed a method for synthesizing perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs), a next-generation ...
Crystals are supposed to be hard and brittle. But when we make them bendy, they help reveal the secrets of how elastic ...
Scientists have discovered a way to use single missing atoms in crystals as memory cells, packing terabytes of data into a ...
Rubies and emeralds have the colors they do because, like many substances, they absorb some colors of light. Most visible light, like sunlight, is composed of all the colors of the rainbow: red, ...
About 400 kilometers northwest of Sydney, just south of Dubbo, lies a large and interesting body of rock formed around 215 ...
State Key Laboratory of New Textile Materials and Advanced Processing Technologies and Key Laboratory of Textile Fiber and Products of Ministry of Education, College of Materials Science and ...
Crystal field theory makes predictions about how a transition metal ion’s structure is affected by the other atoms surrounding it. Rubies are mainly made up of the mineral corundum, which is composed ...
Figure 1: Secondary structures of RNA stem-loops that bind to MS2 coat protein. Figure 2: Overall structure of the complexes, generated by superposing the coat protein. Figure 4: Schematic diagram ...
The aluminum fluoride salt has a 3D porous structure, allowing aluminum ions to easily hop across the electrolyte and increase conductivity. Additionally, when the researchers constructed their Al-ion ...
