A new class of crystal compounds has been discovered by researchers from Osaka University, with potential applications in a range of fields, including adhesives and thermal energy storage. This ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

A group of chemics working with the Osaka University in Japan have identified a rare crystal that melts whenever it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers published their findings in a new ...

Crystal structures underpin the physical properties of materials, while intermetallic compounds—characterised by well‐defined stoichiometries and ordered arrangements of metallic elements—offer a rich ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have now demonstrated a simple and effective way to control the handedness of an inorganic ...

I enjoyed reading the article, “A Century of Chemistry and of C&EN” in the Aug. 7/14, 2023, issue of C&EN (page 18). I wanted to mention one development that was not covered in the piece. In 1966, my ...

Osaka, Japan – While many materials melt when heated, researchers from Japan recently discovered a novel material in which melting can be induced by ultraviolet light instead of being induced only by ...

Perchlorate compounds are known for their explosive nature. To understand what makes these compounds so explosive, a team of researchers developed a novel deep learning-based method that analyses ...
