Can the shape of a crystal really change how well it performs in clean energy technology? A new study says yes—decisively.

There are only 230 possible ways for atoms to form repeating crystal patterns. Quasicrystals don't fit into any of them. Their unique shape lets them form a pattern that fills the space ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

A new catalyst structure offers a potential pathway toward more cost-effective hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The material centers on mesoporous single-crystalline Co3O4 doped with ...

Borax, also known as sodium borate; is white and consists of small, tiny crystals. Is a natural cleaner. By far, Borax is the ...

Quasicrystals are like ordinary crystals but with a few key differences. The quasicrystals found in this study form the corners of 20-sided shape called an icosahedron. To prove that he found an ...
