Just a gram of these tiny crystals can have an internal surface area as big as a soccer field. A materials expert explains ...

Apple grabbed the exclusive rights this week for amorphous, non-crystalline metal alloys owned by Liquidmetal Technologies as part of what is presumably a plan to make even stronger, lighter ...

Just as cloning in biology allows for the creation of one or more replicas of the exact same genes, seeded growth in chemistry can produce a very large metal foil with the exact same surface texture ...

When the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored Omar Yaghi—the "father of metal-organic frameworks," or MOFs—along with Susumu ...

Researchers report how highly crystalline samples of transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 and WS2 can be grown. These ultra-thin and mechanically flexible materials are important for the ...

Throw a rock through a window made of silica glass, and the brittle, insulating oxide pane shatters. But whack a golf ball with a club made of metallic glass—a resilient conductor that looks like ...

APF-80, enables the crystalline sponge method to capture and analyze nucleophilic compounds. Alkaloids, a diverse group of ...

Researchers have developed a new method to convert inexpensive polycrystalline metal foils to single crystals with superior properties. It is expected that these materials will find many uses in ...
