Water frozen in the darkness of space doesn't appear to behave the way we thought. A new research effort using computer simulations and experiments to explore the most common form water takes in the ...

Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In ...

Researchers have created a never-before-seen form of ice with a disorganized structure and a density almost exactly that of liquid water. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Visual representation of the structure of low-density amorphous ice. Many tiny crystallites (white) are concealed in the amorphous material (blue). “Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as ...

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, ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have addressed a significant challenge in nanosheet technology. Their innovative approach employs surfactants to produce amorphous nanosheets from various ...
