It’s made up of six layers hand-polished between each application, the last of which contain tiny crystal particles sprinkled in. In the sunlight you can really see the crystals work their magic ...

Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles. These hybrid particles exhibit the ...

separated by an insulating crystal of hexagonal boron nitride. This setup allowed them to carefully control the movement of electrical charges. It also allowed them to generate particles known as ...

Scientists look for these particles, which rain down constantly ... golden spots of iron-nickel metal and sulfide, and crystal pyramids of minerals, which formed during the journey.

Scientists have turned light into a supersolid for the first time in a groundbreaking new study. This milestone is a ...

After viewing a model of salt, students help develop models for the processes of salt dissolving, water evaporating to form a gas, and salt re-forming as a crystal. The focus is that matter, whether ...

This was behavior unlike anything that simple particles might do. For instance, if the usually perfectly-ordered atoms in a crystal had even a single atom out of place, the electron waves ...

Nanoparticles are particles that exist on a nanometre scale ... porous membrane with electrical potential-sensitive channels — named i-crystal — show glucose- and ketone-responsive insulin ...
