Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the ...

Crystals may seem flawless, but deep inside they contain tiny structural imperfections that dramatically influence their ...

Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change—and hold—its shape, transforming from a transparent thin liquid film to an opaque emulsion, and then back ...

Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their ...

UChicago researchers created a ‘quantum-inspired’ revolution in microelectronics, storing classical computer memory in ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of an ultra-low phase noise 100MHz crystal oscillator, along with the development and simplification of its noise theory. Specific circuit designs and ...

Scientists have found that water ice in space isn't completely disordered as once believed. New research shows that up to 25% of so-called amorphous ice actually contains tiny crystals, changing how ...

Understanding the mechanism of adsorption of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) to various crystal structures of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) is important to elucidate the impact of dye size when measuring the size of ...

Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely disordered—is actually sprinkled with tiny crystals, changing our fundamental ...

The Czochralski (CZ) silicon single crystal growth process is a dynamic time-varying process with the multi-field, multi-phase strong coupling, nonlinear and large delay. The traditional mechanism ...

Understanding the alkaline stability of quaternary ammonium (QA) cations tethered to polymer backbones in anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) is crucial to advance the long-term performance of ...
