Cornell researchers have developed a two-phase liquid crystal system that can rapidly change—and hold—its shape, transforming ...

Crystals are known far and wide for their beauty and elegance. But even though they may appear perfect on the outside, their ...

Sapphire, rough and faceted, from the Rock Creek deposit in Montana has become one of the pillar gems of American origin in the global colored gemstone market. Over the past 10 years, Potentate Mining ...

Biel Crystal's first Vietnamese production base is located in the northern province of Bac Ninh, with the Hai Duong facility ...

As a long-term partner of international brands such as Apple and Samsung, BIEL Crystal's new facility in Vietnam's An Phat 1 Industrial Park (Hai Duong Province) will span 20.2 hectares with a ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself ...

A comparison of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layers grown by chemical vapor deposition on C-plane (0001) versus A-plane (112̅0) sapphire (α-Al2O3) substrate is reported. The high deposition ...

We present a high-throughput, end-to-end pipeline for organic crystal structure prediction (CSP)─the problem of identifying the stable crystal structures that will form from a given molecule based ...

In this paper, an ability for highly efficient terahertz (THz) waveguiding in multichannel sapphire shaped crystals is demonstrated. The edge-defined film-fed growth (EFG) technique (or Stepanov ...

Considering the special effect of patterned r-plane sapphire substrate for the growth of nonpolar GaN, a model is proposed by introducing a modified Wulff- Joccodine method to identify the topography ...
