Elements in the periodic table can take up multiple forms. Carbon, for example, exists as diamond or graphite depending on the environmental conditions at the time of formation. Crystal structures ...

Superconductivity is the disappearance of electrical resistance in certain materials below a certain temperature, known as "transition temperature." The phenomenon has tremendous implications for ...

New experiment deciphers an important intermediate step towards a new phase of matter. (Nanowerk News) Usually, hydrogen is a colourless gas. Under ultra-high pressure, however, this simplest of all ...

Hydrogen can become a clever way to store renewable energy and power fuel cells—but this introduces the problem of what can ...

Despite electrification taking the lead as an alternative source of propulsion, some automakers, including Toyota, Honda, and ...

Being the first element to form, hydrogen holds clues about the distribution of matter in our universe. Normally a gas, hydrogen exists as a solid under ultra-high-pressure conditions commonly found ...

Since the discovery of low-temperature superconductors, there has been an ongoing effort to realize superconductivity at room temperatures with low cooling costs. Crystalline materials containing ...
