HOUSTON – (Nov. 28, 2022) – A crystal’s shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic that ultimately determines its final form from the most basic of details. But ...

There are only 230 possible ways for atoms to form repeating crystal patterns. Quasicrystals don't fit into any of them. Their unique shape lets them form a pattern that fills the space, but never ...

In ice crystals water molecules line up and form a hexagon which is why all snowflakes have six sides but not all water molecules are the same so naturally the makeup of a snowflake won't be either.

The new study describes the shape memory that occurs after changes to a colloidal crystal’s structure and that is not accessible in other types of crystals. In response to external stimuli, reversible ...

As the first crystal structure of this type, the researchers say it will also be useful as a model for other targets in the genome, besides the insulin gene, which form this shape of DNA.
