Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...

Crystals and glasses have opposite heat-conduction properties, which play a pivotal role in a variety of technologies. These range from the miniaturization and efficiency of electronic devices to ...

The following table lists representative single-crystal materials we have synthesized using flux, floating-zone or electrochemical technique. We have provided single-crystal samples to more than 60 ...

A Chinese research team has successfully developed ammonium fluorooxoborate (ABF), a high-performance nonlinear optical crystal designed for vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV) generation. The new material ...

Inorganic crystal materials, for example, may show enormous promise once you first synthesize them, but all this potential could lead nowhere if the crystals don't remain stable; it's no good ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists at CU Boulder have created shimmering “time-moving” crystals from liquid crystal materials, revealing a new form of ...

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

New research from Argonne National Laboratory and the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) has solved a major battery mystery that has led to capacity degradation, ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
