Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material.

Some of the most promising materials for future technologies come in layers just one atom thick, such as graphene, a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, prized for its exceptional ...

Tiny strains in a crystal can cause electrons to behave in a surprising way that closely resembles a highly sought-after ...

Crystals don't always grow the way we thought. A team of researchers has just discovered a new type of crystal that shatters ...

The crystal structures of the enzyme from sweet potato in the resting dicupric Cu(II)-Cu(II) state, the reduced dicuprous Cu(I)-Cu(I) form, and in complex with the inhibitor phenylthiourea were ...

In contrast, locally ordered domains survived in the molten α-PVDF crystal regions also result in a direct formation of γ-PVDF crystals. This is of great importance to fabricate high-quality thin ...
