Snow, ice and winter lights aren’t the only things that sparkle during the holiday season in Western New York. At this time each year, students in Jeff Yap’s science class at Williamsville South High ...

Crystals such as diamonds are renowned for their vibrant colors and unique geometries. But to a chemist, their beauty transcends what we can see with the naked eye. With special equipment, they are ...

A long time ago, tiny crystals formed in seafloor mud and held onto secrets that would puzzle scientists for decades. These ...

Hydrogen is often seen as the fuel of the future on account of its zero-emission and high gravimetric energy density, meaning it stores more energy per unit of mass compared to gasoline. Its low ...

New York University chemists have created three-dimensional DNA structures, a breakthrough bridging the molecular world to the world where we live. The work, reported in the latest issue of the ...

A new study analyzed the nanoscale chemistry of the Blechnum orientale fern, which can form tiny crystals of monazite within ...

For the first time, chemists have broken specific bonds by squeezing a crystal. The researchers squeezed crystals of copper(I) m-carborane-9-thiolate (Cu-S-M9) in a diamond anvil cell. At 12 ...

Through a simple process of heating and cooling, researchers have created a new crystal form of deltamethrin -- a common insecticide used to control malaria -- resulting in an insecticide that is up ...
