The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that ...

A team of physicists has computationally constructed a two-dimensional material that behaves like a paradox: it is disordered ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence created by Google DeepMind may help revolutionise materials science, providing new ways to make better batteries, solar panels, computer chips and many more vital ...

Google DeepMind researchers have discovered 2.2 million crystal structures that open potential progress in fields from renewable energy to advanced computation, and show the power of artificial ...

Diamond is famously known as the hardest mineral on Earth. “There are hundreds of claims from people who believe they have seen it,” says Oliver Tschauner, a mineralogical crystallographer at the ...
