An international team of scientists, including researchers from Loughborough University, has developed a method to dramatically speed up the discovery and design of advanced materials. The study, ...

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?

Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...

Removing excess iron reveals FeTe as a superconductor, and its properties can be engineered using layered structures and moiré effects.

UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...

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 ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal structures. A new artificial intelligence model that can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...

A wave of recent studies is rewriting what scientists know about coral strength, and the findings are already shaping how engineers design artificial reefs and coastal defenses. Researchers have ...

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 ...
