New types of semiconductor devices that respond to light could be possible using materials called perovskites, according to a ...

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 ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...

Analysis of a manganese-based crystal by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has produced the first clear ...

Researchers have developed a new approach to speed up hydrogen atoms moving through a crystal lattice structure at lower temperatures. Researchers at Kyoto University's Institute for Cell-Material ...

(Nanowerk News) Rice University scientists have discovered a first-of-its-kind material, a 3D crystalline metal in which quantum correlations and the geometry of the crystal structure combine to ...

Quantum dots are a kind of artificial atom: just a few nanometers in size and made of semiconductor materials, they can emit light of a specific color or even single photons, which is important for ...
