Thermoelectric materials offer a promising way to produce electricity from heat, but scientists need a better understanding of these materials' properties and how to control them. Researchers used a ...

With higher efficiency and lower costs, perovskite–silicon tandem cells mark a breakthrough in solar tech. Can they truly ...

The most famous packing problem concerns spheres. In 1611, the astronomer Johannes Kepler proposed that the densest way to ...

A hidden box-lattice suggests groundwater sculpted Mars long after surface water fled; Curiosity’s drills aim to confirm the tale.

2D-PCs consist of columns arranged in an in-plane crystal lattice structure (), and hence, in these 2D-PCs, a light wave propagating in any direction in the plane can be reflected.At present ...

GCSE Chemistry (Single Science) Bonding, structure and the properties of matter learning resources for adults, children, parents and teachers.

If you want to study electrons in a particular type of crystal lattice structure, you build that lattice artificially and measure what happens.

Learn about and revise metals and alloys with this BBC Bitesize GCSE Chemistry (AQA) study guide.

IN the course of the structure analysis of the mesomorphic phases occurring in lipid–water systems1–4 we have observed an optically isotropic phase, the X-ray reflexions of which can be ...

A second generation monodendron with dodecyl end-groups based on the AB3 monomer 3,4,5-trihydroxy benzoate has previously been shown to form a thermotropic cubic phase with Pm3̄n symmetry ...

When invisible dark matter spins, it may form clumps of "vortexes" that stretch across space, forming the cosmic web that links all galaxies, new research proposes.

This letter presents a highly miniaturized continuously tunable microstrip line phase shifter from 10 to 67 GHz. The design takes the advantage of the microstrip line topology by a ground plane with ...
