Despite being one of the most familiar substances on Earth, water holds many secrets that scientists are still working to ...

Scientists have developed a crystal that can "breathe" oxygen, which could transform everything from clean energy devices to ...

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, crystals form when particles lock into repeating patterns. For many years, ...

Phases of ice that exist naturally only on frozen moons could be detected using infrared spectroscopy, according to new ...

Once-promising kesterite solar technology has finally broken through its efficiency ceiling, jumping from a decade-long stall ...

Crystal Palace completed the £17m signing of Christantus Uche from Getafe on transfer deadline day. Technically, the Nigeria international arrives at Selhurst Park on loan for the 2025/26 campaign, ...

For centuries, physicists have believed that ice melts on slippery surfaces due to the effects of temperature, pressure and friction. But a research team led by Martin Müser, Professor of Materials ...

For the first time in more than three centuries, Prussian Blue—long confined to its rigid cubic shape—has been transformed into an octahedral structure. A research team has successfully synthesized ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

Dendrimers enable perovskite solar cells to recover from moisture damage by capturing key components, allowing repeatable ...
