Non-Bravais lattices were created by introducing a second non-equivalent lattice point. Near-infrared light is confined within a nanodisk periodic structure with controlled bound states in the ...

Kyoto, Japan -- A novel light-manipulating technology has been developed by an international team, including Kyoto University, that can be applied to lasers, sensors, and nonlinear optics. The ...

How can identical particles be crammed together as densely as possible? A combination of theory and computer simulations shows how the answer to this intricate problem depends on the shape of the ...

Since the 1850's scientists have known that crystalline materials are organized into fourteen different basic lattice structures. However, a team of researchers from Vanderbilt University and Oak ...

This is largely a show-and-tell demo. You select which models you want to highlight. Students may find it useful to be able to handle the models personally, which is great for a small class. If you ...

Scientists have discovered an entirely new form of crystalline order that simultaneously exhibits both crystal and polycrystalline properties and holds promise for improving the efficiency of ...
