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 ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

A new low-damage imaging technique developed at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) is opening the door to detailed analysis of fragile nanomaterials for the first time.
