Pure iron can have two different crystal structures as its temperature is increased from room temperature to its melting point. At room temperature it is body-centered cubic, between 912 and 1394 C if ...

The electronic configuration of Molybdenum is: (Kr)(4d) 5 (5s) 1, and it has an atomic radius of 0.139 nm. At room temperature the metal has the body centered cubic crystal structure. The lattice ...

To create BC8, an eight-atom body-centered cubic crystal exhibiting a 30% greater resistance to compression than diamond, would require conditions found in the center of carbon-rich exoplanets.
