Find out how solar cells power a good portion of homes today—and how they might power almost everything in the future.

One of the tricks that researchers have used for a while now consists in reducing the motional energy of the electrons by ...

Perovskites are layered materials that have well-ordered crystal lattices. They are highly efficient harvesters of light that are being explored for use as solar cells, photodetectors ...

Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing high ...

The reciprocal lattice vectors of a crystal caused by the three types of dislocations and the plastic strain fields obtained ...

As their name implies, supersolids are materials that flow without friction (like a superfluid) even though their component particles are arranged in a crystalline lattice (like a solid). As such, ...

The recent experiment produced a “true Wigner crystal,” according to the team, because the electrons in the lattice were functioning as a wave rather than as individual particles stuck together.

Since the hypothetical phase shared the same cubic crystal structure as ice VII ... a phase of ice that possessed a cubic crystal lattice with water molecules rotating about as fast as those ...
