Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In exploring how crystals form, the researchers also came across an unusual, rod-shaped crystal that hadn't ...

Crystal formation follows a two-step process: messy, shapeless clumps of particles, or amorphous blobs, first come together before finally organizing themselves into the beautiful, ordered structures ...

The challenge, however, is that this technique only works well when researchers have large, pure crystals. When they have to settle for a powder of minuscule pieces — called nanocrystals — the method ...

However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are simply too big and interactions too complex to slide in and out of graphite’s tightly packed layers.

Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on graphite as an anode material. However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are simply too big and ...

Nottingham Forest will be aiming to quickly bounce back from their Wembley heartbreak as full focus now turns to a big Premier League run-in. The Reds lost 2-0 to Manchester City in Sunday's FA ...

Arsenal went into the match with great expectation, a win against Crystal Palace would have put them in a much better place to challenge for the title. But the inability to finish clinically and ...

Without getting into too much detail, some of the benefits include improved performance by reducing the work required to draw graphics on the screen, as well as saving memory. If you are interested in ...
