Wurtzite-structured crystals, characterized by their hexagonal symmetry, are widely valued for their unique electronic and ...

Crystal formation follows a two-step process: messy, shapeless clumps of particles, or amorphous blobs, first come together before finally organizing themselves into the beautiful, ordered structures ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University ...

Scientists have discovered a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound called Ti4MnBi2, marking a ...

The algorithm achieved world-leading performance in crystal structure prediction benchmarks. Crystal structure prediction seeks to identify the stable or metastable crystal structures for any ...

Porous crystals have been engineered to trap ‘oily’ molecules — enabling X-ray structures to be determined for these compounds that defy standard crystallographic analysis. Read the paper ...
