Model breaks the process into several subtasks ... This approach can be used to generate new materials that have radically different crystal structures and physical properties, even though their ...

We have determined the crystal structure of a four-way DNA junction ... as predicted in some models 13. On the contrary, the minor groove is slightly narrower than in regular B-DNA immediately ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...
