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 best when the ...

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?

For the first time, researchers have reported a new family of materials that maintains its conductivity in liquid, liquid ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

Many natural compounds that act on the human body provide active ingredients for medicines or clues for developing them, and ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
