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 ...

Developing and manufacturing effective, safe, reliable new drugs or critical new materials for use in semiconductors or applications involving dangerous materials requires many layers of knowledge.

A new class of microscopic crystal structures developed at the University of Toronto is bringing high bandwidth optical microchips one step closer to efficient, large-scale fabrication. The structures ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal structures. A new artificial intelligence model that can predict how atoms arrange themselves in crystal ...

The ability to predict crystal structures is a key part of the design of new materials. New research shows that a mathematical algorithm can guarantee to predict the structure of any material just ...

Using artificial intelligence to create new things is all the rage right now. Whether you want text, computer code, or images, there are uncountable generative AI models that can oblige. Google ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...
