Every protein in the body is encased in a water shell that directs protein structure, provides vital stability and steers function.

A new AI-powered method is changing how scientists measure the universe. Developed by researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their partners, this technique offers a far more accurate way to ...

These structures showed that matter could be orderly yet lack the usual repeating pattern found in standard crystals. Dan Shechtman made the discovery in 1982, but scientists have now discovered that ...

NYU unlocks secret behind hollow crystal formation through two-step self-assembly For a long time, scientists believed their growth followed a predictable path.

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to orderly ...

The two crystal structures are induced by the different biological environment where they form. Besides identifying the structure of cholesterol crystals in pathological plaques, this work may thus ...

A new artificial intelligence model, called CrystaLLM, can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal structures.
