In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to predict dozens of previously unknown carbon crystal structures, including at ...

Scientists have created a new kind of time crystal using sound waves to levitate tiny beads in mid-air. These particles ...

Researchers have created a record-breaking "time crystal"—a bizarre phenomenon that sounds as if it came straight out of science fiction. A team from Germany's Technical University of Dortmund ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to solve a difficult problem in crystal science. Seeking to understand why crystals develop tiny defects called dislocations, the researchers discovered ...

Astronomers have detected small, ruby-like crystals embedded in Martian rocks, which may also hide sapphires created in the ...

Physicists at New York University in the US have built a new kind of ...

Imagine you’re floating at the top of a cloud and you’re made of a dust particle. It’s 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Water vapor freezes onto you, making an icy, three-dimensional prism. It has six flat sides ...

We expect crystals to be rigid and brittle, so scientists were shocked when some of their crystals seemed to come alive under a microscope. They hope to use the unusual behavior to make tiny machines ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
