Physicists simulate an ideal glass that’s crystal-hard but liquid-like
A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their ...
The study of crystal structures provides crucial insights into the arrangement of atoms and molecules, directly influencing the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials. Advanced ...
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?

Scientists report a harder diamond form, reviving a long-running debate
A team of researchers has reported the first laboratory synthesis and recovery of bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal form long ...
Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...
Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals can expand, twist and change properties—from their color to their ...
