Here’s an exercise for you: type “crystals” into your favorite search engine and see what you get. If you’re anything like us, you’ll get a bunch of pseudoscientific posts about the ...

Particles of light – photons – are massless, so they normally pass right through each other. This generally means they can’t ...

The science of crystallisation is used in many research laboratories around the world, and numerous industries, from cosmetics to food and medicine, rely on the reproducibility and consistency of the ...

Over the course of the five-day experiment, we follow the team as they attempt to place jets of liquid crystals into the X-ray beam created by electrons traveling at nearly the speed of light.

The atoms and molecules that make up all substances are connected in a particular way for each substance. In crystals, the particles repeat in a pattern that gives the crystal its special shape. Some ...

Linköping University's experiment confirms a key theoretical link between quantum mechanics and information theory, ...

The experiment will use tiny diamond crystals to measure the gravitational interaction between them. If successful, the experiment could provide evidence that gravity is a quantum field ...
