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 ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

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?

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are pioneering the design and synthesis of quantum ...

An artificial intelligence created by Google DeepMind may help revolutionise materials science, providing new ways to make better batteries, solar panels, computer chips and many more vital ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new era of shape-engineered electronics.

Researchers studied a potassium cobalt arsenate honeycomb, uncovering magnetic behaviors that may lead to quantum spin ...
