Historic blast yields crystal: Researchers found a never-before-seen calcium–copper–silicon clathrate in debris from the 1945 Trinity nuclear test, marking the first such crystal from a nuclear ...

An unusual crystal created by America’s first nuclear bomb test could help scientists understand a structure needed for quantum computers, solar power, and batteries. Reading time 3 minutes America’s ...

The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in nature or in the lab. The term “clathrates” denotes materials characterized ...

Matter behaves strangely under extreme conditions, and often, remnants of these behaviors are left behind even when conditions return to normal. The Trinity nuclear test in 1945 left behind such ...
