Scientists at TU Wien have uncovered that quantum correlations can stabilize time crystals—structures that oscillate in time ...

Crystals -- from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds -- don't always grow in a straightforward way. Researchers have now captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures. In ...

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, crystals form when particles lock into repeating patterns. For many years, ...

When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to endure pressures tens of thousands of times higher than ...

Ice XXI” is an entirely new phase of ice with a crystal structure that’s more complex than the ice found on Titan or Ganymede ...

The cyclin D1-cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) complex is a key regulator of the transition through the G₁ phase of the cell cycle. Among the cyclin/CDKs, CDK4 and cyclin D1 are the most frequently ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...
