A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully created a new phase of matter known as time ...

Scientists have succeeded in visualizing crystal nucleation -- the stage that precedes crystallization -- that was invisible until now. At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of ...

To most people, crystals mean diamond bling, semiprecious gems or perhaps the jagged amethyst or quartz crystals beloved by collectors. To Norman Yao, these inert crystals are the tip of the iceberg.

In exploring how crystals form, the researchers also came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before, naming it “Zangenite” for the NYU graduate student who discovered it ...

Scientists at the University of Bristol have, for the first time, observed the formation of a crystal gel with particle-level resolution, allowing them to study the conditions by which these new ...

Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what ...

Imagine a clock that doesn't have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, ...

Ancient crystals reveal that Earth began recycling its crust and forming continents billions of years earlier than scientists ...

At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of crystallization is omnipresent in nature and industry. It is the basis for the formation of snowflakes but also of certain active ...
