At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts ...

Scientists have used a mix of physical and chemical properties to bend salt into hexagonal crystals for the first time ever. They formed the thin layer of crystalline salt on a substrate (foundation ...

Crystals reveal the hidden geometry of molecules to the naked eye. Scientists use crystals to figure out the atomic structure of new materials, but many materials can't be grown large enough. Now, a ...

A commonly accepted activity in hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalysis is connected to the presence of the so-called Co-Mo-S structures that comprise small WS 2 or MoS 2 clusters with promoter atoms, Ni ...

Researchers uncover how the surface structure of silver iodide at the atomic scale triggers ice formation in clouds, improving understanding of artificial rain and snow. (Nanowerk News) No one can ...
