Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

As opposed to ice I’s hexagonal crystalline structure, ice VII has a cubic structure. Plastic ice VII has the same cubic structure as regular ice VII, but as the name suggests it’s a little more ...
