Revealing a hidden world inside an ordinary geode, this experiment follows the intense process of cracking it open using ...

MIT physicists have synthesized a new family of bulk crystals whose electrons behave as though they move in an effectively four-dimensional “superspace,” rather than being fully described by the three ...

For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

Waves of light and sound interact to drive electronic and structural changes in a perovskite crystal. At the atomic scale, ...

Now, in a new study appearing in Frontiers in Psychology, scientists in Spain have investigated which characteristics of crystals may have made them so fascinating to our ancestors. They designed ...
