Snow crystals have a wide variety of structures, and some crystals have beautiful structures that look like works of art. A research team at the University of New South Wales has succeeded in creating ...

Until the late 1980s, touch-screen technology was considered pretty flaky and imprecise, but in the era of smartphones and tablets, fast, accurate capacitive touchscreens are everywhere. Such screens ...

A recent study has measured the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of Zinc-Oxide (ZnO) crystals in both the light-emitting process and non-light-emitting process. A recent study has measured the ...

The fusion of mid-infrared laser technologies with zinc selenide crystals has forged a promising frontier in photonics. Zinc selenide, renowned for its excellent optical clarity, thermal stability and ...

A new translucent crystal, made from gold, zinc, and cyanide, does something very few materials do: Instead of shrinking under pressure, it expands. Most ordinary materials contract when pressure is ...

Scientists at Missouri University of Science and Technology have grown zinc oxide crystals directly on a silicon wafer, potentially widening the absorption spectrum of solar cells. The process ...

A funny thing happened on the way to discovering how zinc impacts kidney stones - two different theories emerged, each contradicting the other. One: Zinc stops the growth of the calcium oxalate ...

Impact of zinc on inhibition or promotion of kidney stones gives rise to two conflicting theories, as per a study at the University of Houston, reported in the America Chemical Society journal Crystal ...

To NATURE of Jan. 12, 1929, p. 49, Paul A. Anderson communicated some measurements of his on the potentials of single crystals of zinc. The investigation of a possible change of the electrochemical ...

It sounds like a strange combination: zinc oxide crystals, water, and noise pollution. But scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered that the mix can efficiently produce ...

The nutrient zinc can be both helpful and harmful when it comes to kidney stones, a new study finds. There have been two conflicting theories about the link between zinc and kidney stones. One ...

Aqueous rechargeable zinc battery (AZB) technology is inching closer to leaving the lab, after researchers in Australia found a way to solve a major corrosion issue. A glycol electrolyte additive can ...
