Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and the University of Montpellier have successfully ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic solar cells (OSCs), bringing the technology one step closer to commercial ...

A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium (D2) from hydrogen (H2) at a temperature of 120 K has been introduced ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter ...

Named after 19ty century Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski, perovskite materials have a crystal-lattice structure of inorganic molecules like that of ceramics, along with organic molecules that are ...

The ocean consists of water stored in a crystal structure of the ringwoodite rock. According to scientists, a rock - called 'ringwoodite' - was present 400 miles underground and had a huge supply ...

Most natural and synthetic diamonds have a cubic structure but ultra-hard diamonds, also known as lonsdaleite, have a hexagonal crystal structure. Previously, the hardest diamonds were found only ...

They've successfully demonstrated how missing atoms within a crystal structure can be used to store terabytes of data in a space no larger than a millimeter. "We found a way to integrate solid ...

More than 4,000 naturally occurring minerals—inorganic solids that have a characteristic chemical composition and specific crystal structure—have been found on Earth. They are formed of simple ...
