Determining the positions of the atoms in an icosahedral quasicrystal had previously been a considerable challenge. This study provides an accurate description of the three-dimensional atomic ...
Whereas the atoms in crystals repeat at regular intervals, like the squares of a chessboard, quasicrystal atoms do not. Instead, they do something rather more mysterious: quasicrystals can be ...
Scientists and journalists share a core belief in questioning, observing and verifying to reach the truth. Science News reports on crucial research and discovery across science disciplines. We ...
The research leading to the discovery was published in Nature. Read the news story on the University website. The first report of a liquid quasicrystal was made by Professor Ungar and Dr Zeng in 2004.
A simple cavity-based technology capable of simultaneously measuring optical rotary dispersion and circular dichroism within milliseconds offers ultra-high sensitivity and unprecedented spectral ...
will lecture on quasicrystal materials; Sir Colin Humphreys (University of Cambridge, England) will speak on GaN and microscopy; and Karl Leo (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology—KAUST, ...
