Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex.

While the phenomenon has been seen in materials where electrons are constrained to just two dimensions, this is the first ...

Now, in a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, Rey and JILA and NIST Fellow James K. Thompson, along with ...

Chirality is the property of an object that makes it different from its mirror image, like our left and right hands. In ...

A new technique involving terahertz light has enabled the creation of chiral states in non-chiral materials, offering ...

Chirality refers to objects that cannot be superimposed onto their mirror images through any combination of rotations or ...

FROM an examination of the available data for cellulose and the sugars, we have formed the conclusion that the six-atom sugar ring is associated in the crystalline state with certain linear ...

such as those that occur at interfaces when materials with different crystal lattices grow together," explained Benckiser. "In the present work, we used two cuts of an orthorhombic substrate ...

The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b ...

RECENTLY, with the increase of the resolving power of the electron microscope, it has become possible to make a direct observation of a crystal lattice composed of large molecules. J. W.

The crystal has a lattice parameter of 0.541 nm. The crystal structure is also known as diamond cubic and may be thought of as two interpenetrating fcc lattices, one for sulphur the other for zinc, ...

[Methods] The molecular crystal (C₂H₅)(CH₃)₃As[Pd(C₃S₅)₂]₂ contains [Pd(C₃S₅)₂]₂ molecules at the vertices of a triangular lattice, with one valence electron "formally ...
