Using bundled strands of DNA to build Tinkertoy-like tetrahedral cages, scientists have devised a way to trap and arrange nanoparticles in a way that mimics the crystalline structure of diamond. The ...

Bridging quantum mechanics and crystallography, quantum crystallography offers precise analysis of crystalline materials, impacting various scientific fields.

Scientists from North Carolina State University have discovered Q-carbon, a new phase of solid carbon, which they have used to make diamond-related structures at regular temperatures and air pressures ...

Joseph Tanski still remembers the first time he figured out a molecule’s structure using X-ray crystallography. It was the early 1990s, and he was a sophomore at Vassar College. It took more than a ...

UPTON, NY-Using bundled strands of DNA to build Tinkertoy-like tetrahedral cages, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have devised a way to trap and arrange ...
