Professor Gautam R. Desiraju has won the 14th Ewald Prize for pioneering crystal engineering. His work on weak bonds, ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a three-dimensional woven structure forming naturally inside a crystal, ...

The implications of the discovery of the time crystal mean that physicists now new puzzles to solve, relating to how time crystals form in the first place. Once this is pinned down, the potential ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Photonic time crystals, whose properties change periodically, promise significant enhancements in microwave engineering, optics, and photonics. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret. Centrosymmetric crystals ...

Researchers have developed a way to create photonic time crystals and shown that these bizarre, artificial materials amplify the light that shines on them. These findings could lead to more efficient ...

Scientists carved a 13-sided shape called an "einstein" into a chip and discovered that it steers light in ways no other ...

The future of quantum computing could be paved with a novel form of matter: the time crystal. Time crystals offer all the benefits of traditional quantum computing, with the added benefit of their ...

First, we should define some terms. Quantum computing is an arm of quantum mechanics, which is a way of understanding the world on the scale of electrons. Seen extremely close up, atoms and their ...
