From stars to needles to amorphous globs, scientists are demystifying a snowflake’s complex construction, showing how factors such as temperature can influence their shape.

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it ...

Since amorphous nanosheets do not have layers, the surfactant layers serve as a substitute. Osada is enthusiastic about the ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures ...

The amorphous state of matter is the most abundant ... This is the opposite of what happens in crystals, whose ordered structure facilitates their mathematical description, as well as the ...

In that sense, polyamorphism is the amorphous analogue to polymorphism in crystals. Common to most polyamorphic materials is the directionality of the atomic bonds. On page 192 of this issue ...

However, the low reversibility of olefin bonds impedes crystal self-correction, thus generating only polycrystalline or amorphous compounds instead of single crystals. In the study published in ...

Korea-US team uncovers new nano material enhancing semiconductor miniaturization Korean and American researchers develop innovative material to improve semiconductor efficiency and performance ...
