Scientists have determined the structure of a new material with the potential to be used in solar energy, batteries, and splitting water to produce hydrogen. The physical properties and crystal ...

Chinese scientists achieved reversible red-green photoluminescence switching in Mn-based metal halides by replacing free Cl⁻ with Br⁻. The responsive property stems from weakened hydrogen ...

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 ...

When you think of glass, you probably picture something fragile and brittle, not a material built for high-stress electromechanical components. However, researchers at Germany's Saarland University ...

Iron-based metallic glass alloys compatible with 3D printing reduce energy losses in electric motors by eliminating crystal structure friction.

A research group conducted quantitative individual analysis on the contribution to the strength of the micrometer-scale crystallographic lamellar structures and nanometer-sized cellular structures ...
