Many displays found in smartphones and televisions rely on thin-film transistors (TFTs) made from indium gallium zinc oxide ...

Scientists observe how blobs form crystals and discover a new crystal type Meet 'Zangenite,' a hollow crystal structure named after the grad student who found it Date: April 28, 2025 Source: New ...

Chirality refers to two versions of a structure – be that light, molecules or crystals – that are almost identical but cannot ...

A Shaker Kv-channel V478W mutant shows enhanced C-type inactivation with disruption of the outermost K+ site in the selectivity filter (IS1). The crystal structure of Kv1.2-2.1 bearing the ...

This is bismuth — a natural chemical element that chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. But there’s a catch with this crystal. While bismuth occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust, the striking ...

However, the crystal structures of solid hydrogen formed under high pressure are still under contention owing to the difficulty in conducting experiments involving high-pressure hydrogen.

TIME AFTER TIME Scientists have created time crystals in two new types of materials. These crystals have patterns that repeat over regular time intervals, just as the arrangements of atoms in ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly ...

The researchers determined that colloidal crystals form through a two-step process: amorphous blobs of particles first condense before transforming into ordered crystal structures, resulting in a ...
