Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have refined an X-ray diffraction technique for detecting biological structures ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...
