When paleontologists in China cracked open a set of cannonball sized dinosaur eggs, they did not find bones or embryos.

Two large, fossilized dinosaur eggs packed with natural crystals have been discovered in eastern China. Unearthed in the ...

These radioactive elements decay at known rates, effectively acting as a built-in clock that reveals precisely when the eggs were buried millions of years ago. This natural timekeeping mechanism has ...

When looking at calcite under a microscope, a scientist would immediately recognize the crystalline form of calcium carbonate by its rhombohedral appearance. That is, calcite is shaped like a ...

Spots of light glinted off the faceted sides of more than a dozen calcite crystals stuck inside a small cave at the top of a steep, rocky couloir. Tom Benedict balanced on a thin log spread across the ...

Supply optical Calcite Crystal (Iceland Spar) both in raw material, semi-finished form or as finished components ready to be used. We supply optical Calcite Crystal (Iceland Spar) both in raw material ...

It a dream possession that until now has been consigned to Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings-a cloak that will render the wearer invisible. However, a recent paper published in 'Nature Materials' has ...

Professor Snape beware -- invisibility cloaks aren’t just for the microscopic anymore. Using natural crystals, two independent research teams have designed “carpet cloaks” that can abracadabra 3-D ...

This evolution of ideas about mesocrystal structure and formation has resulted in a marked lack of consensus in the literature, where this problem is further exacerbated by particles sometimes being ...

In a discovery that could have implications ranging from the design of new materials to an understanding of the origin of life, researchers have discovered how the microscopic orientation of amino ...
