Graphene and hexagonal Boron Nitride possesses exceptional chemical and physical properties. Recent experimental results ...

This story was updated on Oct. 15, 2019, to correct the statement that the hydrides overlap well with filled palladium d orbitals. The magnesium ligands are what interact with palladium's d orbitals.

The conventional view among scientists about how ice forms is that it begins from seeds in which water molecules are packed together in a hexagonal structure and maintains this structure as it grows.

The hexagonal crystal structure of ice is well known in the bulk phase — but the initial steps of ice formation on a surface, despite its relevance in fields ranging from biology to atmospheric ...

Scientists have used a mix of physical and chemical properties to bend salt into hexagonal crystals for the first time ever. They formed the thin layer of crystalline salt on a substrate (foundation ...
