What would a chimpanzee do if you handed it a glittering quartz crystal? Apparently, the same thing many of us would—hold ...

Researchers recently succeeded in producing a highly durable time crystal that lived millions of times longer than could be shown in previous experiments. By doing so, they have corroborated an ...

The appeal of 3D photo crystals lies in their ability to serve as a permanent monument to moments that are otherwise fleeting ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

Researchers have created a record-breaking "time crystal"—a bizarre phenomenon that sounds as if it came straight out of science fiction. A team from Germany's Technical University of Dortmund ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret. Centrosymmetric crystals ...

Quartz crystals are harder to grow than the tenderest orchids. How nature does it is not exactly known, and nature does not produce enough big, perfect crystals to provide electrical manufacturers ...
