Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally ...

Chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize materials ...

Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to predict dozens of previously unknown carbon crystal structures, including at ...

Researchers have revisited a long-known material and uncovered a way to dramatically enhance its performance by altering its ...

Research in microgravity offers unique insights into materials science, improving crystal formation and advancing the ...

A Frontier of Physics and Material Science Exploring New Phases of Matter. We’re living in a pretty exciting time for ...

It feels like AI is everywhere these days, and material science is no exception. For a long time, finding new materials was a slow, often accidental process. Think of those stories where someone ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...
