For decades, scientists have known that when glass cools from a molten state the atoms become jammed in a random pattern, whereas the atoms in metals form a regular, crystal lattice structure.

The centre is a single volume, more than 120m long and 35m wide, with an internal height of 7.5m. The structure is, in essence, a 'post and beam' construction of prismatic trusses. They run along the ...

Boston College physicists have discovered a complex landscape of electronic states that can co-exist on a kagome lattice, resembling those in high-temperature superconductors, they reported this fall ...

All the latest science news about crystal lattice structure from Phys.org ...

Researchers have developed a lattice structure capable of absorbing a wide range of vibrations while also being useful as a load-bearing component -- for example, in propellers, rotors and rockets ...

Scientists believed that changing only one dimension of the crystal lattice structure was impossible.

But after that [Steve] gets into the crystal lattice structure of quartz. Using some computer animations and some peanut butter lids he shows you exactly why compressing the crystal generates ...

Shape-memory alloys are reversible phase-change materials that can exist in two crystal-lattice structures: one that is more stable above a certain transition temperature and the other favoured at ...

Mutation in residues involved in crystal contacts shows that the HEX-1 lattice is required for Woronin body function. Structure of HEX-1 and homology to eIF-5A ...

When a crystal is hit by an intense ultrashort light pulse, its atomic structure is set in motion. A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), the Technischen ...

The microstructure of steel is composed of grains, each with its own crystal lattice structure. Heat treatment subjects steel to controlled heating and cooling processes to alter its microstructure, ...
