Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum ...

There are only 230 possible ways for atoms to form repeating crystal patterns. Quasicrystals don't fit into any of them. Their unique shape lets them form a pattern that fills the space ...

Chemists are investigating the bizarre properties of certain materials that could be used to develop oxygen safety systems ...

In 2017, a team at HRL Laboratories, based in California, and UC Santa Barbara discovered a high-strength aluminum alloy that ...

Photonic crystals are periodic optical structures that can control the flow of light. Multiple reflections from surfaces separated by a distance similar to the wavelength prevent an optical beam ...

There are only 230 possible ways for atoms to form repeating crystal patterns. Quasicrystals don't fit into any of them. Their unique shape lets them form a pattern that fills the space, but never ...

It can grow like a crystal, infinitely smaller in any direction. You could also call it a holographic building, because the premise of holographic theory is that the universe is the same at every ...

The nanoparticles exhibit some novel optical and magnetic properties, which are different from its bulk material. Cobalt oxide has been known as a semi-conductor compound of p type with a Spinel ...
