Researchers have developed a technique for growing piezoelectric biomolecular crystals that could eliminate the use of toxic lead in electronic devices. This new method allows for the eco-friendly ...

Two high-quality single-crystal sp²c-COFs have been developed, demonstrating the generality of this approach. This work ...

Organic ionic plastic crystals show a 'colossal' entropy change when undergoing a pressure-induced phase transition ...

Solution printing of organic semiconductors could in principle be scaled to industrial needs, yet attaining aligned single-crystals directly with this method has been challenging. By using a ...

Soft and organic crystals are a diverse group of materials with connections to biological, environmental, and industrial ...

Photomechanical materials made of photochromic crystals, which change their molecular structure reversibly in response to light, have the potential to impact fields from semiconductors to ...

Chinese scientists proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs). COFs are crystalline ...
