Paper describes production of mixed scintillation crystals of perovskite family Y (Al,Ga)O3 and study of their optical and scintillation properties.

For over two decades, physicists have been working toward implementing quantum light storage—also known as quantum memory—in ...

Scientists from UCL and the University of Cambridge have revealed that "space ice"—long thought to be completely ...

This time, it has come through an unintentional clash between the Curiosity Rover and a Martian rock in the Gediz Vallis ...

Curiosity, NASA's Mars rover, accidentally cracked open a seemingly ordinary rock, revealing an unexpected yellow substance ...

A rock on Mars spilled a surprising yellow treasure after Curiosity accidentally cracked through its unremarkable exterior.

Perylene forms three binary compounds with TCNQ. Using a physical vapor transport (PVT) method, mixtures of P1T1 (perylene1–TCNQ1), P2T1 (perylene2–TCNQ1), and P3T1 (perylene3–TCNQ1) crystals can be ...

The sulfur utilization, the cycle life, and the rate performance of the S−PTh core/shell electrode in a lithium−sulfur battery improved significantly compared to that of the pure sulfur electrode. The ...

We utilize the properties of aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cells in the design of: (i) a new type of metamaterial whose index of refraction is tunable from negative, through zero, to positive ...

To achieve this feat, the researchers had a brilliantly simple solution: just heating sulfur and tin in the right way can grow pure, high-quality SnS crystals on ordinary silicon wafers.
