Researchers at the University of Sydney have successfully synthesized the platinum crystals within a liquid metal medium. This process, facilitated in part by advanced X-ray techniques, has yielded ...

Chemists discovered that a seemingly solid, nonporous crystal can 'come alive' when heated. A two-step transformation ...

A recent theory challenges conventional understanding of crystallization. It shows that the dominant element in a solution—the solvent, not the solute—is the material that crystallizes. This finding, ...
