Phase-change materials are some of the most promising materials for data-storage applications. They are already used in rewriteable optical data storage and offer great potential as an emerging ...

An international team of researchers have observed a phenomenon called virtual melting in colloidal crystals. They studied how it helps enable changes from one crystalline structure to another ...

Overall structure The structure of HO-1 with bound substrate, heme, has been refined in crystal form C to an R factor of 0.213 and free R factor of 0.265 at 2.08 Å resolution. There are two ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

In a new study, scientists have shown for the first time that even without additional corrections, the standard GAFF interatomic interaction potential can reproduce an isotropic-nematic phase ...

As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., shifts into different phases of matter) can take place. Microscopic ...

An experimental rationalization of the structure type encountered in DNA and RNA by systematically investigating the chemical and physical properties of alternative nucleic acids has identified ...

This letter presents a highly miniaturized continuously tunable microstrip line phase shifter from 10 to 67 GHz. The design takes the advantage of the microstrip line topology by a ground plane with ...

A second generation monodendron with dodecyl end-groups based on the AB3 monomer 3,4,5-trihydroxy benzoate has previously been shown to form a thermotropic cubic phase with Pm3̄n symmetry ...
