The most structurally complex mineral on Earth, ewingite, has been successfully synthesized in a lab by a group of researchers led by crystallographers from St. Petersburg University.
Perovskites are cubic crystals with efficient light-harvesting properties, but light, humidity, and heat can stress the materials.
Researchers have discovered that Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) can "remember" the complete history of previous external stimuli
Physicists observed a strange new type of behaviour; neodymium spins ‘freeze’ into a static pattern when the temperature rises
A stable, porous graphene nano-membrane thinner than a nanometre has been produced by researchers at ETH Zurich. That's 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Researchers were looking to create a flexible silver nanowire antenna that can be stretched, rolled, or twisted and always bounce back to the original shape
