Stem cell tech simulates ALS, quantum tools decode quasicrystals, and cancer exploits a human mutation—three breakthroughs ...

A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan.

Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns. A new method overcomes this challenge.

Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns. A new method overcomes this challenge. Single grains of a scandium-zinc quasicrystal have 12 ...

However, a quasicrystal composed of a single element has not been found yet. Quasicrystals have a beautiful crystalline structure which is closely related to the golden ratio, called a quasiperiodic ...

In this paper we present fabrication process of photonic crystal (PhC) and photonic quasicrystal (PQC) structures in thin photoresist layer on glass substrate. For fabrication, we used laser ...
