A mysterious menagerie of quantum states — once purely theoretical — has been brought to life by researchers at Columbia ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

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 ...

Small gap size may result in a smaller number of tetrahedrons but relatively bad mesh quality due to a lack of room to find a position for generating a round-shape tetrahedron. A large gap size would ...

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 ...

Quasicrystals are like ordinary crystals but with a few key differences. The quasicrystals found in this study form the corners of 20-sided shape called an icosahedron. To prove that he found an ...

More on the story below. Crystal Palace and Nott'm Forest have booked their places at Wembley with victories today. Tomorrow, we will find out who else will join them in the draw. It took a ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer treatments have traditionally involved a difficult balance between effectiveness and side effects. For skin cancers, this challenge is particularly pronounced. Researchers ...

Inside the crystal, each silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms, each of which forms a bridge to a neighboring silicon. This results in a tetrahedral ... a rough hollow shape called a parison.
