New Crystal with Unusual Conducting and Insulating Properties Could Hold Key for Future Electronic Technologies

Researchers at Princeton University have observed a bizarre behavior in a strange new crystal that could hold the key for future electronic technologies. Unlike most materials in which electrons travel on the surface, in these new materials the electrons sink into the depths of the crystal through special conductive channels.

$Updated Crystalline Sponge Technique for Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction Analysis$

Updated Crystalline Sponge Technique for Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction Analysis

X-ray crystallographic analysis is one of the only methods that provides direct information on molecular structures at the atomic level. The method, however, has the intrinsic limitation that the target molecules must be crystalline, and high-quality single crystals must be prepared before measurement.

Controlling Porous Materials’ Microstructure Could Improve Their Drying Time

Water in, water out: such is the cycle of porous material. In some cases, like with soils, it is preferable to keep water in. In others, it makes better economic and ecological sense to have porous materials dry faster, e.g. in the paper industries or with plasterboard manufacturing.
