Scientists have successfully developed nanomaterials using a so-called bottom-up approach. They exploit the fact that crystals often grow in a specific direction during crystallization. These ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have now demonstrated a simple and effective way to control the handedness of an inorganic ...

Surprisingly, the magic of snowflakes often begins with dust in the air. All it takes is for a cold drop of water to freeze ...

Researchers recently succeeded in producing a highly durable time crystal that lived millions of times longer than could be shown in previous experiments. By doing so, they have corroborated an ...

Snowflakes are commonly considered delicate "winter beauties," but there is an interesting secret within the complexity of their designs. Their six-sided patterns predict weather, snowflakes are much ...

Lithium-ion batteries play a key part in the global transition to sustainable energy, from electric mobility to grid stabilization and portable devices. At the molecular level, their performance ...

Under specific conditions, a liquid solution can form solid crystals, often due to environmental factors like temperature shifts, concentration changes, or air exposure. In life science OEM and ...

A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

At the molecular level, their performance begins before a cathode slurry is mixed or a cell is built. It starts with crystallization, which determines the purity, shape, and consistency of lithium ...
