Once thought unlikely, this new finding in coordination chemistry could lead to promising advances in catalysis and materials science. For more than 100 years, the widely accepted 18-electron rule has ...

Long thought to be completely disordered, space ice appears to have some crystallized regions, new research suggests.

Researchers at NYU Tandon have developed a new method for synthesizing metallic glass nanoparticles that offers refined ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Scientists have created a new machine learning algorithm that can be applied to crystallography, allowing researchers to near-perfectly infer the atomic structure of nanocrystals from simple ...

The algorithm was able to determine the atomic structure from nanometer-sized crystals of various shapes, including samples that had proven too difficult for previous experiments to characterize.
