Crystals don't always grow the way we thought. A team of researchers has just discovered a new type of crystal that shatters ...

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain ...

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding of how viruses like the flu, common cold, and COVID-19 get into cells in ...

Crystal structure prediction (CSP) is typically addressed by combining first-principles calculations with optimization algorithms. For example, genetic algorithms are often employed to iteratively ...

for example. CSP would be a powerful tool to guide these efforts, generating virtual maps to aid molecular crystal landscape exploration. The maps could help to place experimental crystal structure ...

Herein, die-attach samples were prepared by Au substrate with different crystal structures, in which the shear strength reached 43.5 and 34.4 MPa for Sample I and Sample II, respectively. The ...

There are many examples in nature ... silicon and oxygen. Beryl’s crystal structure is more complicated than corundum’s because of the additional elements in the formula, but each aluminum ...

Terahertz light has the ability to control solids at the atomic level, forming chiral structures of left- and ... a specific "handedness", which, for example, influences their optical and ...

In one dramatic example of the necessity of predicting crystal structures, scientists in the late 1990s discovered that capsules of the HIV drug ritonavir later transformed from the known crystal ...

If the unfolded protein was to randomly sample trillions of possible states per second ... US. ‘When we solved the crystal structure, it was almost exactly like the design model,’ recalls Baker. ‘That ...

The sample phase composition was analyzed using an X-ray diffraction ... groups and cis-double bonds exerts a positive regulatory influence on the α-HH crystal structure, whereas trans-double bonds do ...
