We report a novel anhydride derivative, 3-acetoxy-2-methylbenzoic anhydride (AMA), obtained from the interaction of 3-acetoxy-2-methylbenzoyl chloride with 3-acetoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid. The ...

Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a ...

We propose and demonstrate a photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) design utilizing sub-micron buried dielectric features as the low-index component of the photonic crystal. PCSELs are ...

Physicists have created a new type of time crystal that may help confirm some fundamental theories about quantum interactions. A standard time crystal is a new phase of matter that features ...

A pair of @UHouston professors have captured the first-ever real-time images of cholesterol crystal growth at near molecular scale.

Greetings from the fourth dimension: Scientists glimpse 4D crystal structure using surface wave patterns by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Editors' notes ...

Description Develop and implement an algorithm to calculate bond angles for sp3d (trigonal bipyramidal) hybridization. This is essential for the accurate representation of molecular geometries like ...

Self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) embedded in InGaAs quantum wells (QWs) are used as active regions for photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs). An epitaxial regrowth method is developed to ...

A crystals expert has published an answer to how crystals are formed and how molecules become a part of them, solving an age-old mystery about crystal formation.

Scientists now propose that a polymorphic crystalline layer may form on a crystal surface before the crystal-crystal phase transition and names it pre-solid-solid transition.

Han’s team at HKUST proposes that a polymorphic crystalline layer may form on a crystal surface before the crystal-crystal phase transition and names it pre-solid-solid transition. If carbon ...
