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 ...

Chemical engineers have developed a machine-learning model that can predict a compound's oxidation state, a property that is so essential that many chemists argue it must be included in the periodic ...

Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

Fig. 1. (a) Planar LC structure of a general PBOE. (b) Chromatic aberration in a broadband PBL. (c) LC structure for a multi-twist PBOE. (d) Experimental result of a broadband PBL. Augmented reality ...

UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
