These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.

Barite (BaSO₄) is a mineral of both industrial and environmental relevance whose ability to form solid solutions provides significant insights into crystal growth dynamics and trace-element ...

Concave, umbrella-like metal complexes provide space to enable the largest molecular rotor operational in the solid-state. Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists ...

For the first time, researchers have reported a new family of materials that maintains its conductivity in liquid, liquid ...

Ice surfaces have a thin layer of water below its melting temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Such premelting phenomenon is important for skating and snowflake growth. Similarly, liquid often ...
