New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the Abdus Salam International ...

Using a diamond as a quantum simulator, scientists created a rondeau time crystal, which exhibited both long-range temporal ...

A time crystal that beats to the rhythm of both order and chaos has revealed a new way in which matter can keep time. New experiments have demonstrated the time rondeau crystal – a time crystal that ...

Microgravity offers a disruptive environment for drug discovery by removing convection and sedimentation. This enables higher-quality protein crystals, more physiologically relevant 3D cell cultures, ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, improving understanding of artificial rain and snow. (Nanowerk News) No one can ...

No one can control the weather, but certain clouds can be deliberately triggered to release rain or snow. The process, known as cloud seeding, typically involves dispersing small silver iodide ...

With funding from NASA's In-Space Production Applications program, United Semiconductors produced semimetal semiconductor composite crystal on the International Space Station. Testing showed yield and ...

Researchers at Stony Brook University may have captured lightning in a bottle — or at least explained one of the theories of how it is created. Working with researchers in Spain and China, Stony Brook ...

This video presents an experiment testing the usage of crystals in Minecraft. The gameplay demonstrates placement, timing, and the impact of crystals in different scenarios such as combat, survival, ...

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, crystals form when particles lock into repeating patterns. For many years, ...
