The team also made use of artificial intelligence (AI) neural networks to track individual atoms. This enabled them to analyze thousands of frames, each showing every atom’s position, which would be ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

Explore how advanced EBSD and backscatter imaging methods reveal the distribution and morphology of titanium hydrides in ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the Abdus Salam ...

When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin ...

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without ...

WE have been making a study of the crystal structure of d-tartaric acid by X-ray analysis. This is a classical substance which presents some little difficulty in complete analysis owing to its low ...

University of British Columbia (UBC) scientists have demonstrated a reversible way to switch the topological state of a ...

THE structure of the coronene molecule, C 24 H 12, is of particular interest in view of its peculiarly high symmetry (Fig. 1). With regard to electron distribution and bond-lengths, the structure ...

A new study reveals that PtBi2, an otherwise ordinary-looking crystal, hosts an entirely new form of superconductivity ...

Matter with “forbidden” symmetries was once thought to be confined to lab experiments, but is now being found in some of the ...

Cornell researchers have developed a new transistor architecture that could reshape how high-power wireless electronics are ...
