Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only ...

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 ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material. This is not the first time hexagonal silicon has ...
