A bizarre "Rule of Four" has been identified in the basic structure of the majority of inorganic materials—and scientists are stumped as to why. The pattern is found in the so-called "unit cell" of ...

For anyone getting annoyed at how long their 3D printed project is taking, this simple pattern update could help speed up the process significantly.

Columbia Engineering scientists have developed a machine learning system that can use the pattern produced by nanocrystals to estimate the material’s atomic structure, according to a recent study ...
