Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a ...

UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...

“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices Researchers at New York ...

Researchers at the Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba, have developed an accessible platform to overcome the limitations of conventional static docking simulations, offering new ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Crystal structures are the ordered, three‐dimensional arrangements of atoms or molecules that define a solid’s properties. Research in this area encompasses not only the inherent geometrical and ...

A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine learning algorithm, ShotgunCSP, that enables fast and accurate prediction of ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal structures. A new artificial intelligence model that can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal ...

Researchers improved organic solar cell fabrication by controlling molecular assembly, enhancing efficiency and stability, bringing the technology closer to commercial viability. OSCs are a compelling ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
