Bulk and dispersed cubic liquid crystalline phases (cubosomes), present in the body and in living cell membranes, are believed to play an essential role in biological phenomena. Moreover, their ...
When high-velocity asteroids land on Earth, they can form a meteor impact crater. Such collisions have occurred throughout Earth's history and still occur on other planetary bodies today. While most ...
Gold is an extremely important material for high-pressure experiments and is considered the "gold standard" for calculating pressure in static diamond anvil cell experiments. When compressed slowly at ...
Ice-crystal halo: haloes such as the one seen here (photographed in Quebec City) are produced when light from the Sun or Moon interacts with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Scheiner’s halo ...
Out of the many boron nitride (BN) structural forms, cubic-BN (c-BN) nanodots (NDs) offer the potential for a variety of new opportunities across a plethora of applications. Until now, experimental ...
Crystal Structure of Cubic Garnet-Type (IMAGE) Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) Caption Fig. 1 shows crystal structure of cubic garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO, left) and temperature dependence ...
Even with the weight of worlds on its shoulders, diamond resolutely refuses to buckle under the pressure. Thanks to the highest-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments ever reported, researchers have ...
