Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and ... have captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly structures in a new study published in Nature Communications.

Researchers at New York University 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 ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

My first experience with a crystal reads like a gangster movie. At 19, I was not contemplating marriage, but I realized that it was a possibility. I heard about “this guy” who sold diamonds ...

For example, Fig. 5 shows the differences between the crystal and glass structures of silicon dioxide (a molecule than has a simpler structure than sucrose and is easier to represent). To make glass ...
