Crystal structure prediction is, after years of hard work by many, many groups, finally reaching the point where it’s going ...

A dissertation study at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) developed two-dimensional fishnet-like structures from DNA ...

If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that ...

This picture shows the crystal structure of the superconducting film in this study. The Cooper pairs are shown as balls with paired opposite arrows in it. The Cooper pairing strength is stronger at ...

For materials that exist only as a powdered crystal, solving these structures becomes much more difficult because the fragments don't carry the full 3D structure of the original crystal. "The precise ...

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

University of British Columbia (UBC) scientists have demonstrated a reversible way to switch the topological state of a ...

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 ...
