MOF thin films, as porous materials, play a key role in many potential applications. Researchers have now demonstrated that the prototypical example for thin films has a completely different structure ...

Due to their high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as promising materials for innovative applications, ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in ...

X-ray diffraction methods lie at the foundation of materials science. Determination of the crystal structures of natural minerals and, later, of crystals grown in the laboratory led to our ...

Drawing from his own experience in experimental science, Professor G Ravindra Kumar explained how AI could help address ...

When viruses travel through the air in tiny droplets, they can quickly start to dry out. Yet many viruses remain infectious ...

The world’s rarest mineral does not look especially imposing at first glance. It is a faceted orange gem, just 1.

Halogen bonds are robust and tuneable enough to build permanently porous frameworks, new research shows. The findings ...

Researchers demonstrate a fabrication process of yttrium aluminum garnet doped with cerium 3D micro-objects, producing ...

As a hobby, 3D printing is exploding in popularity, but one problem with FDM printing has remained unsolved for years, but ...

Abstract: Faults, fractures, karst caves, and other small-scale geological targets are critical for carbonate oil and gas exploration. However, seismic responses of these small-scale geological ...
