TBAB hydrate is the most widely used semiclathrate hydrate, with potential uses in heat storage and air conditioning ...

Until then, 18 types of crystalline ice were known. The team now reports on the elucidation of the crystal structure of ice XIX using neutron diffraction. Ice is a very versatile material.

The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from ...

Understanding the natural geometry of crystals has long fascinated scientists, especially when studying how materials behave at different temperatures and pressures. One major question in this area is ...

The ice, known as medium-density amorphous ice, fits into a gap in the annals of frozen water that scientists weren't sure would ever be filled. Unlike the crystalline ice that forms naturally on ...

High-temperature austenite, an FCC structure, has enough space for carbon atoms to squeeze in between the iron atoms. Iron atoms keep their place on the lattice while carbon atoms become ...

Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the ...

Data-assimilated crystal growth simulation for multiple crystalline phases. The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2024; 161 (21) DOI: 10.1063/5.0223390 ...

A comparison of ordinary crystalline ice, left, and medium-density amorphous ice. Michael Davies Dr. Salzmann and his colleagues were not looking to add to the catalog of water ices.
