In a step towards futuristic 3D-display screens, researchers in Singapore have found a simple way to control the growth of tiny crystals that have useful optical properties. By careful doping with ...

MIT physicists have trapped electrons in a pure crystal, marking the first achievement of an electronic flat band in a three-dimensional material. The results provide a new way for scientists to ...

Delicate layers of a 3D blue rose bloom atop glossy nails, surrounded by shimmering crystal beads that catch the light with ...

Scientists at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have developed a nanoparticle composite that grows into 3D crystals. The new 3D-grown material could speed up production and eliminate errors in the mass ...

Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material.

Graphene, a nanocarbon material just 0.3 nanometers thick and 200 times stronger than steel, is starting to revolutionize construction. Discovered in 2004, graphene’s unique hexagonal crystal ...

First direct measurements suggest that lonsdaleite, also called hexagonal diamond, is the strongest and hardest mineral found in nature.

Hexagon today announced the acquisition of 3D Systems' Geomagic suite of interoperable software packages, which are used to create high quality 3D models from multiple sources, including laser ...
