Sheets of bismuth, gallium, indium, tin and lead can now be made just a few atoms thick by crushing them at a high ...

Rare earth metals form from magmatic interactions within the Earth’s crust, so studying certain minerals formed from ancient volcanoes can help us understand where to mine them. A new study ...

Maybe flat band materials will lead to real room-temperature superconductors. Maybe. If you just want to make your own metal crystals, you can, but don’t expect exotic properties.

copper crystals. You can see the result in the video below. To grow pure metal crystals, he used copper wire and copper sulfate. He also used a special regulated power supply to create a low ...

Yonsei University researchers have provided new experimental evidence for electronic rotons and their connection to Wigner crystallization in a two-dimensional system. Using angle-resolved ...

Metals are the only substances that are magnetic. But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The most common magnetic metal is iron. You don't see too many objects made of pure iron but you do see ...
