UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...

Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals can expand, twist and change properties—from their color to their ...

Coordination chemistry explores the formation, structure, and function of complexes formed by transition metals and various ligands. This field not only provides fundamental insights into bonding and ...

Mineralogy and crystal structure analysis constitute a dynamic field that intertwines traditional observational methods with cutting‐edge computational and data‐driven techniques. This research area ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...
