Mucic acid crystals grown from a water-based solution achieved a record-breaking stiffness for an organic crystal.

Crystals made from mucic acid are the stiffest organic crystals reported to date. 1 They owe their rigidity to a dense web of hydrogen bonding between their molecules, giving them mechanical ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; 10.29026/oea.2025.240207, discusses how light boosts exciton transport in organic molecular crystal. Organic semiconductors, composed of organic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Silicon is the iconic material of the electronics industry and has long been the basic material for microprocessors and memory chips – Silicon Valley got its name for a reason.
