Crystal- and electronic-structure chirality of RhSi, RhSn and RhBiS. a, Illustration of the intrinsically chiral structure. Handedness can be distinguished by considering the helix formed by Rh atoms.

It was long thought that all crystals are made of atoms ordered into a periodic repeating pattern — analogous to the way in which hexagonal cells form the repeated pattern of a honeycomb ...

By experimentally making a quantum computer behave like a robust form of time crystal, a team of physicists from China and the US hope to make the technology less prone to errors as it scales. Time ...

This innovative type of smart crystal, Janus crystals, is inspired by desert plants and animals that thrive in arid conditions. For instance, desert beetles and lizards have evolved surface ...
