The 3D models are made of a finely printed mesh of transparent polymer, forming photonic crystals. These mostly hollow designs remarkably shrink down in size by about 5 times when heated to ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. Image Credit: Shihao Zang, NYU This is a powerful platform for ...

Researchers from multiple academic institutions collaborated on a study published last month, in which they imaged and investigated systems of active liquid crystals in three dimensions and ...

Conformal growth of perfect 2D crystals over 3D objects has the promise to localize strain to create high-fidelity arrays of single photon emitters.

People are now able to take a closer look at the famous Crystal Palace Park dinosaurs after they were turned into interactive 3D models.

Conformal growth of perfect 2D crystals over 3D objects has the promise to localize strain to create high-fidelity arrays of single photon emitters.

The world's largest crystal structure model - a 3D replica of the repeating ionic lattice found in table salt (NaCl) - is assembled in Vienna's city hall.
