Researchers at Utrecht University have quantitatively mapped the three-dimensional structure of photonic supraparticles for ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

Researchers describe a method to fabricate single-crystal vases several microns in size. The molecules spontaneously grow into the structures after drop-casting. This work may allow new experiments in ...

Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

Liquid crystals are familiar to most of us as the somewhat humdrum stuff used to make computer displays and TVs. Even for scientists, it has not been easy to find other ways of using them.

Chemists discovered that a seemingly solid, nonporous crystal can 'come alive' when heated. A two-step transformation releases trapped molecules, drives a vivid blue - green - yellow glow, and even ...
