By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

(Nanowerk News) For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Visual representation of the structure of low-density amorphous ice. Many tiny crystallites (white) are concealed in the amorphous material (blue). “Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as ...
