The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from the Greek word adámas, meaning unbreakable. Scientists have now engineered a ...

Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say. When ...

Scientists have discovered that a unique class of crystalline materials unexpectedly transforms during electrolysis, unlocking remarkable catalytic properties. This surprising behavior could play a ...

On compression of alpha-cristobalite SiO2 to pressures above approximately 12 GPa, a new polymorph known as cristobalite X-I forms. The existence of cristobalite X-I has been known for several decades ...

Instead of always forming building block by building block, scientists are learning that crystals can grow through more complex pathways. Credit: Shihao Zang/NYU Meet “Zangenite,” a hollow crystal ...

From the delicate patterns of snowflakes to the robust structure of diamonds, crystals are all around us. For a long time, scientists believed their growth followed a predictable path. But now, ...

In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According ...

Power Electronics, Institute for Sustainable Systems Engineering INATECH, University of Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany YAlN has emerged as a wide band gap semiconductor with high potential to ...
