Scientists Unveil Unusual Crystal Behavior on Heating
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, have observed an unexpected reduction in local crystal symmetry when heated. This finding challenges traditional theories that suggest crystal symmetry typically increases with temperature due to entropy. Published in Advanced Materials, the research holds potential applications in phononics, thermoelectrics, and solar thermal conversion. Led by Prof. Kanishka Biswas, the team, including researchers Ivy Maria and Paribesh Acharyya, studied the behavior of the all-inor..
