How does fine dust aggregate into building blocks that ultimately form entire planets like our Earth? A research team led by ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

If you think “instantaneous” happens in a second, you should meet Haiwang Yong. An assistant professor of chemistry at the ...

A research team led by Sun Jian at Nanjing University has produced recoverable, millimeter-sized crystals of hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon polymorph that prior theoretical work has suggested could ...

Yet swarms of fireflies clearly exercise a level of control over when they light up, and they do so only in specialized organs, and those are aspects scientists are still keen to understand better.

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

A team of researchers has reported the first laboratory synthesis and recovery of bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal form long predicted to be harder than the conventional gems used in cutting tools ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...
