A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Researchers at UNIST, in collaboration with the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) and KAIST, have introduced a novel ...

Alloys created by mixing three atomic species (medium-entropy alloys, or MEAs) or five species or more (high-entropy alloys, or HEAs) have emerged as hot properties in materials science. In metallurgy ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” inside a crystal’s atomic structure. The team discovered a rare system where ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

(Nanowerk News) When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max ...

Crystalline alloys used in motors today lose some energy through heat, but glass-like metals could solve this engineering ...
