A setback in growing light-responsive crystals led UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team to a novel method for mapping molecular arrangements.

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

The new method can determine crystal structures underlying experimental data thus far difficult to analyze. A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has ...

While Boyce’s crystal may be the largest single crystal of copper sulfate, students at the Kurfrüst-Ruprecht-Gymnasium in Germany hold the record for overall size. Their polymorphic crystal reached a ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...
