Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...
A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...
The sky is getting crowded. In the last few years, the number of satellite launches has increased by an order of magnitude as mega-constellations of internet-powering hardware crowd into low Earth ...
Scientists studying molten metals have uncovered a surprising truth: even in a liquid state, some atoms do not move at all. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Motionless atoms can trap liquid metal in a strange ...
Solar cells, devices that convert sunlight into electricity, are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, ...
A thin, watery layer coating the surface of ice is what makes it slick. Despite a great deal of theorizing over the centuries, though, it isn't entirely clear why that layer forms.
When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
