I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

In brief 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 ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

In a sodium chloride crystal, the sodium and chlorine ions arrange themselves in a repeating pattern known as a lattice. Specifically, NaCl forms a “face-centered cubic” (FCC) lattice structure.

The Wigner crystal lattice. Image: Yen-Chen Tsui and team, Princeton University Wigner theorized that this quantum phase of electrons would occur due to the particles’ mutual repulsion, not in ...

Engineers at Columbia University, NY, USA, and theoretical collaborators at the Max Planck for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, Germany, have found that pairing laser light to crystal ...
