The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from the Greek word adámas, meaning unbreakable. Scientists have now engineered a ...

Although occupation of dodecahedral cages by TBAB had not been previously reported, it was found that utilizing dodecahedral cages allows for higher packing density of TBAB. The results were shared in ...

Scientists have discovered that a unique class of crystalline materials unexpectedly transforms during electrolysis, unlocking remarkable catalytic properties. This surprising behavior could play a ...

Instead of always forming building block by building block, scientists are learning that crystals can grow through more complex pathways. Credit: Shihao Zang/NYU Meet “Zangenite,” a hollow crystal ...

In exploring how crystals form, researchers at New York University came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn’t been identified before. Crystals are solid materials made up of particles that ...

From the delicate patterns of snowflakes to the robust structure of diamonds, crystals are all around us. For a long time, scientists believed their growth followed a predictable path. But now, ...
