At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts ...

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Rostock, CNRS-École polytechnique in France, and ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

Earth’s inner core has long challenged researchers because seismic waves do not move through it uniformly. Compressional ...

Typical idiomorphism of single crystal gemstones, such as hexagonal prismatic emeralds, octahedral diamonds, and rhombic dodecahedral garnets, is the thermodynamic equilibrium shape in which the sum ...

These sites capture the city’s practical, restrained style — but aren’t without whimsy. In central Stockholm, on the island of Södermalm, sunlight spills onto the facades of buildings representative ...

Lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) nanoparticles have gained significant attention as drug delivery systems owing to their unique self-assembly properties, biocompatibility, and ability to encapsulate ...

A plain lump of graphite has never looked so ambitious. By squeezing and heating it under brutal conditions, researchers in Beijing have coaxed carbon atoms to line up in an elusive hexagonal pattern ...

When high-velocity asteroids land on Earth, they can form a meteor impact crater. Such collisions have occurred throughout Earth's history and still occur on other planetary bodies today. While most ...

Researchers of ancient Egypt discovered “five identical structures near the Khafre Pyramid’s base, linked by pathways, and eight deep vertical wells descending 648 meters underground.” Rating: False ...

ABSTRACT: Molar binding energy of the boron nitride single-walled zigzag and armchair nanotubes is calculated within the qua-si-classical approach. We find that, in the range of ultra small radii, the ...
