In the world of materials science, perovskite oxides are like the superheroes of energy conversion. They have a special power: they can conduct both ions and electrons. This makes them perfect for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes. But there's a catch. Most of these materials have a crystal stru
AI is stepping into the world of crystal prediction. It's not just about guessing if a crystal can be made. It's also about figuring out how to make it and what ingredients are needed. This is a big deal because it could change how we create new materials. A new tool called CSLLM is leading the way
The material In 2 Se 3 is getting attention for its potential to be ferroelectric. This means it could switch its electric polarization, which could be useful in electronics. Researchers have been growing thin films of this material using a method called molecular beam epitaxy. This process inv
Thalidomide is a well-known drug with a dark history. Its crystals can exist in different forms. These forms can change when the temperature changes. This change is important for understanding how the drug works. Scientists have studied these changes in detail. They looked at how the crystal struct
First, let's talk about how exciting the world of calcium magnesium silicate (CMS) is. Researchers have found that doping it with Eu3+ ions makes it glow red light. This light is highly pure and bright. It can be used in bioimaging inside cells and even in creating structures that support cells.
Imagine a tiny world where molecules can dance and change shape. This is what happened with a special type of molecule called bis(2, 3, 5, 6-tetramethylphenyl)phosphine, C 20 H 27 P. It is a kind of phosphine, which is a compound that contains phosphorus. Scientists discovered something ve
Powder X-ray diffraction, or PXRD, is a major tool used to study materials. While it’s commonly used, the part where humans have to manually analyze the data is tough, and automatic methods aren't great at fine details. Predicting exact crystal structures from PXRD has been a challenge. That's where
One of the first steps in figuring out the structure and properties of a material based on its chemical composition is creating likely crystal structures. However, current methods for predicting crystal structures are usually time-consuming and expensive, which can slow down scientific progress. To
