Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out ...

Researchers developed a crystal that inhales and exhales oxygen like lungs. It stays stable under real-world conditions and ...

A team of scientists from Korea and Japan has discovered a new type of crystal that can "breathe"—releasing and absorbing ...

A strange mineral found in a meteorite does not behave like anything on Earth — and when it's heated, it acts even weirder.

A meteorite-born mineral with both crystal and glass traits has defied the known rules of heat conduction. Its constant heat ...

A meteorite that crashed in Germany almost 300 years ago is now helping scientists change how we understand heat. Carved from a meteorite that landed in Steinbach in 1724, a rare sample of silica, ...

Tautomerism influences the solubility, stability, efficacy, and even toxicity of drug formulations. Computational solid-form screening is increasingly being used to help identify effective drug ...

Experiments at BESSY II show that during electrolysis, the structure breaks down into ultrathin nickel sheets, exposing the active catalytic centers to the electrolyte. Hydrogen can be produced ...

Here, we solve the first crystal structure of FSP1 in complex with an FSP1 inhibitor (FSEN1). Our findings reveal the mechanism of FSEN1 inhibition of FSP1 and uncover the reason for FSEN1 species ...

In contrast, our new single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments have shown that the ideal structure of this phase should instead be described by a defect-free model, which does not ...

Importantly, the distinct structure characterizing the local order in the precritical nuclei is found in the equilibrium structure of the crystal–melt interface at the melting temperature, suggesting ...

NYU unlocks secret behind hollow crystal formation through two-step self-assembly For a long time, scientists believed their growth followed a predictable path.
