In a study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, researchers from National Taiwan University report that a ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a crystal made entirely of electrons. The structures have been theorized for decades, but this marks the first time they’ve been experimentally confirmed in the ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure. At low ...

Chemists discovered that a seemingly solid, nonporous crystal can 'come alive' when heated. A two-step transformation releases trapped molecules, drives a vivid blue - green - yellow glow, and even ...

(Nanowerk News) Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists are turning this idea on its head by exploring ways to incorporate moving parts into solids. This can ...

Temperature-controlled, reversible shifting of molecular gear motion in a solid crystal opens new possibilities for material design. Temperature-controlled, reversible shifting of molecular gear ...

Solid-solution organic crystals have been brought into the quest for superior photon upconversion materials, which transform presently wasted long-wavelength light into more useful shorter wavelength ...

Piezoelectric materials, particularly single crystals and engineered solid solutions, play a pivotal role in modern sensing and actuation technologies. Their inherent ability to convert mechanical ...

Concave, umbrella-like metal complexes provide space to enable the largest molecular rotor operational in the solid-state. Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists ...
