Pyrite is often dismissed as “fool’s gold” but this mineral creates some of the most stunning crystals in nature. Walk into ...

This 1:1 ratio creates a very stable and balanced arrangement. The cubic shape of salt crystals arises directly from this specific arrangement of ions.

Further analysis of the two diffraction patterns led to the conclusion that the observed face centred cubic structure was the statistical average of a disordered structure.

Sodium chloride, which is table salt, naturally forms cubic crystals. And when crystals form, their naturally occurring shapes reflect the atomic structure that lies beneath, which is one reason ...

Since the hypothetical phase shared the same cubic crystal structure as ice VII, it became known as plastic ice VII.

Diamond is metastable at room temperature and has a diamond cubic crystal structure. (Lower diagram) The diamond cubic structure is a face-centered-cubic lattice with a basis of two carbon atoms.

New research led by the University of Liverpool in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) ...

Additional quantum well layers of InGaN are added after the pure cubic phase GaN structure has been established to create the light emitting material used to fabricate cubic LEDs,” said New Mexico ...

In the solid state Tantalum has a body-centered cubic crystal structure with a = 0.330 nm and a nearest neighbor distance of 0.285 nm. Tantalum has a Young's modulus of 186 GPa, a yield stress of ...

In contrast to a completely tetragonal crystal structure after the initial firing, this causes a partly cubic crystal structure, which stays metastable during cooling. Tetragonal precipitates ...
