the researchers created a crystalline solid out of 1a molecules, which are cyclic oligophenylenes with CO 2 H functional groups in the inner portion of their ring-like structure. When forming this ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

It focuses on understanding structure-property relationships in materials using mathematical and graphical descriptions of structure, symmetry, and matter tensors in crystalline and noncrystalline ...

MIT physicists report the unexpected discovery of electrons forming crystalline structures in a material only billionths of a ...

Porous organic crystals with superior properties as CO2 adsorbents were created by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo. Owing to the novel 2.5-dimensional skeleton, the materials feature ...

A QUESTION of fundamental importance in the theory of the solid state is the nature of ... but the possibility of a closer approximation to the crystalline state should not entirely be, ruled ...
