Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...

Make Valentine’s Day magical! Learn how to grow heart-shaped borax crystals with this easy ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Researchers have created a record-breaking "time crystal"—a bizarre phenomenon that sounds as if it came straight out of science fiction. A team from Germany's Technical University of Dortmund ...

We expect crystals to be rigid and brittle, so scientists were shocked when some of their crystals seemed to come alive under a microscope. They hope to use the unusual behavior to make tiny machines ...

Fresh snow can look like a blank sheet of paper, so bright it almost hurts to stare at in midday sun. Yet at the microscopic ...

But it’s not so easy to measure whether such bodily energy exists in the first place, Jarry says. Scientists can study other forms of energy, like gravity or the energy contained in food, because we ...
