Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still ...

Understanding how molecular arrangements within crystals influence their thermal behavior is a fundamental question in ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in Small, a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering nanotechnology, published by Wiley-WCH, Germany, ...

A new approach is presented for the configuration of hybrid lattice structures for multifunctional applications. When constructing a complicated lattice structure constitute of large number of unit ...

The seven types of crystals — the stunning geometry that comes from an atomic lattice Some people say crystals have healing powers, but that's not the type of crystals we're looking at here.

Groundbreaking research by the Institute of Modern Physics reveals molecular-type structures in the ground state of atomic nuclei, providing experimental evidence for a decades-old hypothesis and ...

Concave, umbrella-like metal complexes provide space to enable the largest molecular rotor operational in the solid-state.

Fragment-based electronic structure methods for solids For many years, the Molecular Mechanical (MM) force field (FF) methods have been classical tools for modeling molecular crystal structures, ...

A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Nature Communications that demonstrated the creation of two-dimensional (2D) solid helium using the diamond lattice confinement effect.

The integration of lattice design approaches and topology optimization is the next step in realizing optimal lattice designs for Additive Manufacturing (AM). Hence, this study focuses on a topological ...
