Volcanoes can behave in strikingly different ways, even when they appear nearly identical. Some release slow, steady lava flows.

Researchers at Diamond Light Source have used advanced imaging to look at microscopic crystals, called nanolites, to see what they can tell us about volcanic eruptions. Highly explosive eruptions ...

Perchlorate compounds are known for their explosive nature. To understand what makes these compounds so explosive, a team of researchers developed a novel deep learning-based method that analyses ...

Chemistry students at the University of Cincinnati are exploring lab-grown crystals that do extraordinary things when exposed to light. They bend. They twist. They bounce. And sometimes they explode.

The proposed novel method uses deep learning to study the physical properties of compounds such as explosive perchlorates by using only their crystal structure and thus avoiding dangerous experiments.
