The ultimate goal of materials scientists is to design and create materials with precise structures and tailored properties.

Crystal structure prediction is, after years of hard work by many, many groups, finally reaching the point where it’s going ...

But it always amazes me how you can get so much information from something so tiny.’ Today, Hatcher’s work primarily focuses ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and ...

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?

DARPA’s new Crystal Palace program aims to revolutionize how complex materials are grown, reshaping future defense tech.

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

Crystal polymorphism is critically important in the fields of pharmaceuticals and materials science. For instance, a metastable polymorph of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may benefit from ...

A researcher at the Department of Physics at Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising quantum phenomenon hidden inside ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University and Nagoya University have developed a new class of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using triptycene-based molecules, marking a breakthrough in ...

An international group of researchers from New York University has developed a novel method of visualizing them that is similar to having X-Ray vision. With this new method, which they have fittingly ...
