A team of researchers has done something metallurgists have talked about for decades but never pulled off: they froze a crystal structure that normally flickers in and out of existence during metal ...

Hidden in the night sky, just above the hump of Taurus, is a giant crystal ball that shows both the past and the future. This is the Crystal Ball Nebula (NGC 1514). To look at this orb's gauzy, white ...

Volcanic crystals carry chemical gradients that fade at a known rate once magma cools or mixes. That fading preserves a crystal eruption timeline – one of volcanology’s most reliable timing tools, ...

Using finely tuned nanoscale building blocks, researchers from Brown University and the University of Michigan College of ...

In a study published in Science, researchers used silver nanoparticles to assemble a theorized, but never-before observed crystal metallic structure.

The central technical result is a quantum error-correcting code built on the Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice — the densest possible packing of spheres in three dimensions, the arrangement at the ...

We already know what’s Under the Tuscan Sun. Now, a technique called ambient noise tomography has allowed researchers to see deep under the Tuscan crust.

Diamond is famously known as the hardest mineral on Earth. But researchers have been pursuing an unusual variant of it — known as hexagonal diamond — that might be even harder. After decades of claims ...

Researchers dubbed one experiment involving a roughly one-foot-tall crystal "The Monolith" in honor of Stanley Kubrick's iconic film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Aden Kahr Humans have long been fascinated ...

After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the most important yet. Reading time 3 minutes In 1962, researchers hypothesized ...
