When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...
The colors of rubies and emeralds are so striking that they define shades of red and green—ruby red and emerald green. But have you ever wondered how they get those colors? I am an inorganic ...
The crystal structure of the newest, aluminum-based metal-organic framework, MOF-303, which captures twice as much water as the earlier MOF used in the water harvester. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...
Researchers at Rice University have found an alloy of copper, vanadium, and sulfur that forms crystals that, due to quantum effects, can trap electrons. This can produce flat bands, which have ...
A Grandview family narrowly escaped Saturday’s storm and strong winds that destroyed the metal structure they have been living and working in.
