Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, ...

[5] The non-classical nucleation of crystals: microscopic mechanisms and applications to molecular crystals, ice and calcium carbonate. International Materials Reviews (2012).

Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

The science of snowflakes: See how they form and why no two are ever alike Snow is made up of trillions of tiny ice crystals that make snowflakes, with not one alike. Here's how they form.

Both vary with temperature, molecular alignment, and the properties of the ions themselves. Since liquid crystals are anisotropic, mobility is direction-dependent. In nematic phases, ions tend to move ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure.

Rapid prediction of molecular crystal structures using simple topological and physical descriptors. Nature Communications, 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53596-5 ...

Molecular crystals with conductivity and magnetism, due to their low impurity concentrations, provide valuable insights into valence electrons. They have helped link charge ordering to ...

During this webinar, Panče Naumov from the New York University Abu Dhabi, will explore the latest advancements in adaptive molecular single crystals and their potential applications in soft, ...
