Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

Liquid-filled rocks form when minerals trap fluids, but depending on their composition they can either be classed as enhydros ...

If you’re anything like me whenever you spot an interesting rock, it’s destined to make its way into your pocket.

Electrons typically travel at high speeds, zipping through matter unbound. In the 1930s, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that electrons could be coaxed into stillness at low densities and cold ...

Scientists are planning to look within billion-year-old rock formations in the search for mysterious dark matter.

With advancements in imaging technology, the first successful dark matter detector might turn out to be an ancient rock. The visible universe — every potato, gas giant, steamy romance novel, black ...

Reaching a height of 50 m (164 ft) in Yantai, eastern China, the Sun Tower, by OPEN Architecture, cuts a remarkable figure on ...

A new crystallization theory shows that the solvent, not the solute, controls crystal formation. This two-step process improves predictions of crystal growth and has practical applications in areas ...

Using new imaging, Huber and his colleagues hope to uncover trails of destruction from long-ago dark matter interactions ...

I've written in recent columns about the amazing projects taking place on the Bentonville campus of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Completion of Heartland Whole Health Institute is scheduled ...

Little Rock architect Wesley Walls ... "There's the expansion at Crystal Bridges by Moshe Safdie and Marlon Blackwell's work next door with the Whole Health Institute and a parking structure. ...

You can get a good idea of a crystal's structure by looking closely at just a small piece ... Some gemstones are also ...
