Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...

In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc structure and the zinc ions occupy half of the tetrahedral sites in this structure to attain charge neutrality. The crystal has a lattice ...

A crystal is a solid with a periodic atomic structure and a deviation from the periodicity of the crystal lattice is called a defect. Crystalline defects include point defects (e.g. colour centres ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies ...

It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter ...

The focus of the study was a bulk single crystal of a topological kagome metal ... relate to the underlying geometry of the atomic lattice structure, according to Boston College Associate Professor of ...

Crystals are characterized by their highly ordered atomic arrangements, forming as repeated units in what’s known as a crystal lattice, creating those pointy faceted protrusions we humans love.
