LIVERMORE, Calif. – Researchers have a better understanding of how the crystal structure of some metals becomes stable through magnetism. Magnetic stabilization of the crystal structures of metals is ...

Chinese scientists achieved reversible red-green photoluminescence switching in Mn-based metal halides by replacing free Cl⁻ with Br⁻. The responsive property stems from weakened hydrogen ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...
