Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Solar cells and computer chips need silicon layers that are as perfect as possible. Every imperfection in the crystalline structure increases the risk of reduced efficiency or defective switching ...

Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a "time crystal" in the laboratory that maintains autonomous rhythms at room temperature.

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed new mathematical models that offer new insights into the behavior of ...

Astronomers witness first moments of planet formation as rock grains crystallize around distant star HOPS-315.
