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 ...

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

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, but never ...

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 ...

But how well they perform depends on their shape—and that can be difficult to predict. Researchers in Germany have now produced a model of how these crystals grow, which offers a theoretical framework ...
