Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

A research team led by SUTD has created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics. Subscribe to our ...

Chemistry students at the University of Cincinnati are exploring lab-grown crystals that do extraordinary things when exposed to light. They bend. They twist. They bounce. And sometimes they explode.

The term crystal in this context does not necessarily refer to a traditional crystalline solid like salt or diamond, but rather to any material with a highly ordered, repeating structure at the ...
