The melting of crystals is the process by which an increase in temperature induces the disruption of the ordered crystalline ...

Newly published research demonstrates a novel way of generating phonon-polaritons by making electrons collide with crystal lattice structures. The discovery paves the way for cheaper, smaller long ...

Two twisted boron nitride layers (blue and pink) create a crystal lattice at a distance in which electrons (gold) can arrange themselves in a regular pattern. Credit: Natasha Kiper / ETH Zurich ...

Losartan (Cozaar) is a generic drug that is prescribed for certain conditions, including high blood pressure. Losartan comes as an oral tablet and belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker ...

Researchers have developed a method by which artificial crystal lattices with a large lattice constant can be created in a semiconductor material. The large lattice constant leads to a reduced ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, amongst other things, because they ...

The software ReciPro makes various crystallographic calculations, visualizes a crystal structure, simulates a diffraction pattern and high-resolution TEM image, indexes diffraction spots, plots ...

Combining ultra-thin layers of different materials can raise the photovoltaic effect of solar cells by a factor of 1,000, according to researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in ...

Voltage-activated potassium (Kv) channels open to conduct K + ions in response to membrane depolarization, and subsequently enter non-conducting states through distinct mechanisms of inactivation.
