A new class of crystal compounds has been discovered by researchers from Osaka University, with potential applications in a range of fields, including adhesives and thermal energy storage. This ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered that a purely inorganic crystal grown from water solution can emit ...

A group of chemics working with the Osaka University in Japan have identified a rare crystal that melts whenever it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers published their findings in a new ...

Crystal structures underpin the physical properties of materials, while intermetallic compounds—characterised by well‐defined stoichiometries and ordered arrangements of metallic elements—offer a rich ...

I enjoyed reading the article, “A Century of Chemistry and of C&EN” in the Aug. 7/14, 2023, issue of C&EN (page 18). I wanted to mention one development that was not covered in the piece. In 1966, my ...

Osaka, Japan – While many materials melt when heated, researchers from Japan recently discovered a novel material in which melting can be induced by ultraviolet light instead of being induced only by ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have now demonstrated a simple and effective way to control the handedness of an inorganic ...

Perchlorate compounds are known for their explosive nature. To understand what makes these compounds so explosive, a team of researchers developed a novel deep learning-based method that analyses ...
