CAS researchers discovered a way to control how crystals form using only a shining light. With their findings, scientists can ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their ...

The study of crystal structures provides crucial insights into the arrangement of atoms and molecules, directly influencing the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials. Advanced ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University and Nagoya University have developed a new class of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using triptycene-based molecules, marking a breakthrough in ...

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?

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally ...

Scientists have redefined the state-of-the-art in modeling and predicting the free energy of crystals. Their work shows that crystal form stability under real-world temperature and humidity conditions ...
