Is there someone in your life who loves all things science, color and crystals? National Geographic's beautiful crustal science kit will allow you or your loved one to explore crystals in vivid color ...

Although healing crystals can create a mood boost, a heightened sense of self-awareness, and a perceived feeling of serenity, most of the belief in the scientific community is that crystal healing and ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Researchers have created a record-breaking "time crystal"—a bizarre phenomenon that sounds as if it came straight out of science fiction. A team from Germany's Technical University of Dortmund ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret. Centrosymmetric crystals ...

The ultimate goal of materials scientists is to design and create materials with precise structures and tailored properties.

A group of chemics working with the Osaka University in Japan have identified a rare crystal that melts whenever it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers published their findings in a new ...

Scientists have succeeded in visualizing crystal nucleation -- the stage that precedes crystallization -- that was invisible until now. At the interface between chemistry and physics, the process of ...

Photonic time crystals, whose properties change periodically, promise significant enhancements in microwave engineering, optics, and photonics. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Although healing crystals can create a mood boost, a heightened sense of self-awareness and a perceived feeling of serenity, most of the belief in the scientific community is that crystal healing and ...

Scientists have unveiled a novel time crystal exhibiting a structured yet non-repeating temporal pattern, a departure from traditional, perfectly cyclical time crystals. This discovery challenges ...
