The discovery of a crystal whose atoms are packed in a pattern that never repeats has won Israeli scientist Daniel Shechtman the 2011 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The structures in quasicrystals, as they ...
(Nanowerk News) When Lisa Tran set out to investigate patterns in liquid crystals, she didn't know what to expect. When she first looked through the microscope, she saw dancing iridescent spheres with ...
A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...
Scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) report that an exotic quantum phenomenon appears under conditions where it would not normally ...
Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered how to "draw" on demand the crystals used in many crucial ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 218, No. 1133 (Jun. 25, 1953), pp. 255-268 (18 pages) The exact relationship between molecular ...
British developer CystalMaker Software on Tuesday announced the release of CrystalDiffract 5.0, the newest version of its software “for visualizing and understanding x-ray and neutron powder ...
Scientists at TU Wien have uncovered that quantum correlations can stabilize time crystals—structures that oscillate in time without an external driver. Contrary to previous assumptions, quantum ...
Because liquid crystals are similar to oil, the surfactants were attracted to the liquid crystal shells, causing the molecules to order in different ways and create striking patterns. The more soap ...
