The length of the prism has been marked with an arrow and labelled, length. The fourth image is an upright, hexagonal prism and has a hexagon for its cross section.

Conventionally, the phase transformation of inorganic nanocrystals is realized under extreme conditions (for example, high temperature or high pressure). Here we report the complete phase ...

Okay, that's fascinating. Mud Veins NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has come across a fascinating hexagonal pattern in salt deposits — and they look eerily reminiscent of Earth-based basins that dry ...

Crystal phase regulations may endow materials with enhanced or new functionalities. However, syntheses of noble metal-based allomorphic nanomaterials are extremely difficult, and only a few ...
