Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...

For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

It uses a system called simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES). This translates chemical 3D structures into ...

Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new era of shape-engineered electronics.

Thousands of Greenland's crystal-clear blue lakes have turned a murky brown thanks to global warming — and the worst part is ...
