Fern Hammock Springs connects visitors to Florida’s ancient past in a tangible way that few other places can match. These springs have flowed continuously for thousands of years, serving as ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Not quite crystals and not quite a glass, quasicrystals are an oddity whose properties are not well understood – but now we ...

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

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 ...

Yooperlites are a variety of sodalite-rich syenite found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Liquid crystals are substances that flow like a liquid but maintain some of the ordered structure of crystals. Liquid-crystal molecules tend to be elongated and to orient in specific directions.

A Double Corrugated Waveguide Shielded by Photonic Crystal (PhC) wall is proposed for effective beam-wave interaction with a circular beam at terahertz frequency. Numerical results reveal that the The ...

The photonic band structures in 2D tunable hexagonal magnetic photonic crystals were investigated on the basis of plane wave expansion method. It was found that the photonic band gaps tended to exist ...

This Virtual Special Issue of Crystal Growth & Design highlights the latest progress in understanding the link between the properties and structures of nanomaterials. It explores the innovative ...

We report herein the first systematic exploration of inhibitors of the mitotic kinase Nek2. Starting from HTS hit aminopyrazine 2, compounds with improved activity were identified using ...

A massive explosion and fire at a pharmaceutical factory in Telangana, India, has killed at least 36 people. Authorities ...
