Calcium sulphate minerals, notably gypsum and bassanite, play a critical role in natural and industrial settings. Recent research into their mineralogy and crystal growth dynamics has advanced our ...

Photonic crystals are periodic optical structures that can control the flow of light. Multiple reflections from surfaces separated by a distance similar to the wavelength prevent an optical beam ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Get hands-on with KS3 science investigations in Atomic Labs. Experiment and put your science skills to the test ...

A crystal structure is composed of a motif, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice. Motifs are located upon the points of a lattice, which is an array of points repeating ...

Two isoreticular and topologically unique metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized using Sr (NO 3) 2 and the organic linkers 2-nitro- [1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H 2 bpdcNO 2) ...

GN/BT nanocomposites were fabricated via colloidal processing methods, and ceramics were sintered through two-step sintering methods. The microstructure and morphology were characterized by X-ray ...
