A Chinese research team has produced bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure long theorized to be harder than ...

We report the crystal structure of a class D β-lactamase, the broad spectrum enzyme OXA-10 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 2.0 Å resolution. There are significant differences between the overall fold ...

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

A magnetic crystal that was thought to behave like a quantum system, CeMgAl11O19, revealed something even stranger: a new ...

A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Successful group work in middle and high school requires thoughtful design. These strategies help teachers structure collaboration so every student contributes—and learns.

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

Structural biology is shifting from predicting protein shapes to uncovering broader organizational rules; AI tools like AlphaFold have made large-scale protein structure data far ...

Controlling light at the micro- and nanoscale opens up opportunities for a better understanding of the world and the development of technology. As modern electronics approaches the limits of its ...

In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...
