Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common ...

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated ...

Condensed-matter physics and materials science have a silo problem. Although researchers in these fields have access to vast amounts of data – from experimental records of crystal structures and ...

Researchers from the labs of Professors Vinayak Dravid and Omar Farha developed a high-resolution approach to map ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...

A study shows that polarons can host stable atomic distortion patterns, reshaping how charge and energy move in materials ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...
