The crystal structure of γ-AlH 3 contains two types of AlH 6 octahedra as the building blocks. The Al−H bond distances in the structure vary in the range of 1.66−1.79 Å. A prominent feature of the ...

Scientists have developed a crystal that repeatedly absorbs and releases oxygen at low temperatures—laying the groundwork for cleaner energy, smart windows, and adaptive thermal devices.

Aluminum oxide or alumina is the fruit fly of materials science: thoroughly researched and well-understood. This compound, ...

Scientists have now engineered a harder form of diamond known as bulk hexagonal diamond (HD)—a crystalline structure that has been theorized for over half a century to have physical properties ...

Six new novel alkaline-earth metal vanadium(V) or vanadium(IV) selenites and tellurites, namely, Sr2(VO)3(SeO3)5, Sr(V2O5)(TeO3), Sr2(V2O5)2(TeO3)2(H2O), Ba3(VO2)2(SeO3)4, Ba2(VO3)Te4O9(OH), and ...
