To realize such a material, the researchers created a crystalline solid out of 1a molecules, which are cyclic oligophenylenes with CO 2 H functional groups in the inner portion of their ring-like ...

This textbook provides students with a complete working knowledge of the properties of imperfections in crystalline solids. Readers will learn how to apply the fundamental principles of mechanics and ...

An amorphous material is one that may have short range atomic order but that lacks the translational symmetry (long range order) of a crystalline solid. Glasses are an example of amorphous materials ...

Meeting their biological counterparts halfway, artificial molecular machines embedded in liquid crystals, crystalline solids and mesoporous materials are poised to meet the demands of the next ...
