An investigation employing X-ray crystallography and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the carbon crystals were indeed unusually formed varieties of graphite. The strange carbon microcrystals have…
This illustration represents the light-induced collapse of the nanoscale charge order in a 2D crystal of tantalum disulfide (star-shapes) and the generation of a hidden…
MIT scientists have observed that when multiple starfish embryos spin up to the surface, they gravitate to each other and spontaneously assemble into an organized,…
Researchers observe continuous time crystal for the first time. (Artist’s concept.) Scientists have succeeded for the first time in realizing a time crystal that spontaneously…
In a new experiment, scientists created two time crystals inside the superfluid, and brought them to touch. Time crystals were long believed to be impossible…
Link diagram of the quantum electronic link in momentum (velocity) space observed in the topological Weyl magnet Co2MnGa, determined from advanced photoemission spectroscopy measurements. Credit:…
Snowflakes etched in graphene at Skoltech. The light areas are graphene, and the dark ones are oxidized copper. The snowflake pattern emerged as the surrounding…
UNLV physicists pioneered a new laser-heating technique in a diamond anvil cell (pictured here) as part of their discovery of a new form of ice.…
Researchers with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering laid out how liquid crystals could be used to perform computations using techniques such…

Researchers from Osaka University and Osaka City University synthesize and crystallize a molecule that is otherwise too unstable to fully study in the laboratory, and…
Artist’s concept. The new observations record a key crossover from classical to quantum behavior. The world we experience is governed by classical physics. How we…
This crystal of iron pyrite, just four hundredths of a millimeter in size, could function as the light absorbing layer of a tiny solar cell…
The sensitizer molecules (green) absorb low energy photons (long-wavelength light) and become excited into triplet states. These triplet states are then transferred to nearby annihilator…
Researchers use multi-anvil press to turn fullerene C60 into diamond glass, similar to the process of converting graphite to diamond in high-pressure apparatus. Credit: Image…
