Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...
The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...
More than 90 years ago, Linus Pauling published a set of five empirical principles explaining why ionic compounds form the crystal structures that they do. Those principles, now known as Pauling’s ...
