The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in various matter systems. These techniques allow for the controlled and ...

When invisible dark matter spins, it may form clumps of "vortexes" that stretch across space, forming the cosmic web that ...

Crystallography-informed AI achieves high performance in predicting novel crystal structures by Research Organization of Information and Systems ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

“Our calculations also revealed a dynamically stable crystal structure, supporting our experimental findings.” Altogether, this combination of experiments and calculations showed that the reaction ...

Depending on the conditions, x-ray diffraction showed that the iron either had a face-centred cubic or a hexagonal close packed crystal structure, as they expected. Crucially, however, there were some ...

The finding suggests that, although helium is chemically inert under ambient conditions – that is, it doesn't react with other elements – it can be induced to interact when conditions are pushed to ...

Going into the experiment, the researchers predicted that if the iron and helium were to fuse, they would find helium atoms worked into the crystal structure (known as a lattice) of iron.

Researchers from Japan and Taiwan reveal for the first time that helium, usually considered chemically inert, can bond with iron under high pressures. They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell ...

Scientists use math to predict crystal structure in hours instead of months Date: November 14, 2024 Source: New York University Summary: Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict ...

"Most liquid-crystal-based devices are made from single-layer structures, but this limits light field modulation to a confined area," said research team leader Fan Fan from Hunan University in China.
