In the 1970s and 1980s, scientists developed new classes of crystalline materials in which the atoms were held together by very weak bonds. (scientificamerican.com)
There, I designed nanotechnology strategies to introduce wider porosity in crystalline materials such as zeolites. (sciencemag.org)
Scientists can accurately predict the thermal conductivity of many crystalline materials using expressions based on the widely - used «phonon gas model.» (sciencedaily.com)
