Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

First, it determines the size and shape of the lattice "box" and which atoms will go into it. Then, it predicts the arrangement of atoms within the box. For each diffraction pattern, the model ...

Findings Solve Decades-Old Mystery About What’s Inside Uranus And Neptune In A Nutshell Scientists discovered a strange form ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments. These patterns appear so consistently that […] ...

(Nanowerk News) For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works ...
