In a study published in Science, researchers have resolved, for the first time, the high-resolution crystal structure of the ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

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 ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

An algorithm designed to find the most efficient path from atom to atom in a bizarre kind of crystal turns out to produce incredibly intricate mazes. As well as making mazes, the technique could help ...
