Quantum entanglement is often described as one of nature’s strangest secrets. Now, scientists have found it inside a crystal ...

A strange metal can fit in your hand, yet still behave in ways that seem to belong to a far smaller world. In a new ...

For more than two decades, the International Space Station has provided a platform for growing and studying protein crystals. In the early days of microgravity research, scientists discovered that ...

MIT physicists have synthesized a new family of bulk crystals whose electrons behave as though they move in an effectively four-dimensional “superspace,” rather than being fully described by the three ...
