Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of using clumps of metal atoms, they engineered a system where each single ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder.

A Chinese research team has produced bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure long theorized to be harder than ...

A research team led by Sun Jian at Nanjing University has produced recoverable, millimeter-sized crystals of hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon polymorph that prior theoretical work has suggested could ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...

Hoffman Estates police are continuing to investigate a single-vehicle crash Friday evening that killed a 25-year-old Crystal Lake woman. The crash occurred around 6:51 p.m. in the area of Barrington ...

Researchers have developed a technique that allows them to carve complex three dimensional nanodevices directly from single crystals. To demonstrate its power, they sculpted microscopic helices from a ...

A neighborhood with 175 single-family homes will be built near downtown Crystal Lake in what City Council members call the “last infill property,” which was once set to be an Amazon warehouse. Atlanta ...
