Controlling Crystal Structure Through 'Negative Pressure'
"Until now, researchers have been limited to testing how crystal structures vary under greater and greater pressure, but there has not been a way to perform the opposite experiment: to continuously ...
Breaking the Rules of Chemistry: New Theory Shatters Old Ideas About Crystal Formation
A new crystallization theory shows that the solvent, not the solute, controls crystal formation. This two-step process improves predictions of crystal growth and has practical applications in areas ...
Defects in the structure of insulating materials can trigger the transformation into a conductor
A study led by researchers at Università Cattolica, Brescia campus, and published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, unveils an important mechanism that could lead to the development of ...
Researchers solve long-standing mystery of alumina surface structure
Atoms inside the material follow a fixed arrangement, giving rise to the characteristic shapes of crystals. On the surface, ...
