For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers from Seoul National University and other international institutions have been able to answer a question that has puzzled scientists for years about ...

After 20 years of fossicking for crystals in outback Australia, a prospector has made the discovery of a lifetime. Hundreds of smoky quartz had been concentrated around a single square metre. But it ...

A male skeleton named TBH1 reveals he was killed by a quartz projectile strike about 12,000 years ago. Archaeologists ...

Although studies have attempted to fabricate tuning forks using lithium niobate crystals, their detection performance has not met expectations with no significant difference from standard QTFs, due to ...

Almost 13,000 years ago, North America underwent drastic changes at a rapid rate. Mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, and many other large animals went extinct. Around the same time, the Clovis ...

In this paper, a novel self-designed inverted-triangular lithium niobate tuning fork (LiNTF) was used to construct gas sensing system for the first time. CHENGDU ...
