We now know how gold crystals begin to form on an atomic basis. For the first time, scientists observed – and filmed! – The first milliseconds of gold crystal formation and found that it is more complex than previous research suggested. Instead of a single, irreversible transition, the atoms come …

The volcano ranks among the most destructive and awe-inspiring events on earth. But this fiery outburst does much more than just destroy. They also make. In a new study, Russian researchers have reported the discovery of such a composition – an unusual mineral documented by scientists: an attractive, vibratically blue …

The existence of time crystals – a particularly fascinating state of matter – was confirmed only a few short years ago, but physicists have already made a pretty big breakthrough: they have induced an interaction and observed between two time crystals. In a superfluid helium-3, crystals exchange quasi-particles twice without …
