NASA's Curiosity rover has made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars by uncovering pure sulfur crystals within a broken rock.

High-entropy aluminum garnets were grown as bulk single crystals using the micro-pulling-down method, taking the synthesis of complex ceramics a step further from the conventional preparation of ...

However, mother nature's greatest marvels frequently show scant dependence on the purity of elemental crystals, at least when providing the mechanism for energy conversion or power generation. Here, ...

elemental crystals in corners, nether star in the middle, remaining spaces have 2 greater fire pearls each Air Pearl: lapiz in the corners, with feathers surrounding a stack of eight ender pearls in ...

The elemental sulfur crystals add a new layer of mystery to Curiosity’s work. “Discovering strange and unexpected things is what makes planetary exploration so exciting,” said Vasavada.

Abstract: This paper discusses the use of piezoelectric crystals as elements in wave filters and shows that very sharp selectivities can be obtained by employing such elements. It is shown that by ...

Rigid-layer vibrations reflect directly the interlayer coupling strength in 2D van der Waals solids, but measurement of these characteristic frequencies is made difficult by sample instability and ...
