A Möbius strip has a peculiar geometry, but anyone can make one with a strip of paper. Put a half-twist in the strip and tape its ends together, and a single-surface curiosity is born. Making a Möbius ...

SELENIUM single crystals have been grown in this Laboratory from the vapour phase by the method used by Brown 1 and de Boer 2. Although the needles, which had a regular prismatic appearance, were ...

Crystals are supposed to be hard-edged and well-ordered—think diamond—but Japanese researchers have amazed their colleagues by growing crystals shaped like a ring, a figure eight (right), or a Möbius ...

For the first time, researchers have combined a novel synthesis process with commercial electron-beam lithography techniques to produce arrays of semiconductor junctions in arbitrary patterns within a ...

Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in frames of academic mobility between China and Russia together with colleagues from Qiqihar University grew "defective" crystals of tin ...
