Published this week, our new paper describes a new type of crystal: one that is flexible, and that can even be tied in a knot. This new development means we can think about new applications for ...

(The color of putnisite crystals ranges from pale to dark purple, with a pink streak, according to the researchers.) Found on volcanic rock, the new mineral occurs as tiny crystals just 0.02 ...

A method for growing organic semiconducting crystals onto a surface could lead to better flexible electronic devices and video displays, researchers claim. Transistors made from thin films of ...

Researchers have used a special crystal to bend the trajectory of light like a black hole would, a phenomenon known as 'pseudogravity.' When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
