Metallic hydrogen was predicted on theoretical grounds as long ago as in 1935. Since then, scientists around the world have ...

Crystals don't always grow the way we thought. A team of researchers has just discovered a new type of crystal that shatters ...

nearly perfect cube of silver onto a hard target turns its single-crystal microstructure into a gradient-nano-grained (GNG) structure. Scientists at Rice University are smashing metallic micro ...

Here we discover that mechanical deformations provide a route to switching thermodynamic stability between a semiconducting and a metallic crystal structure in these monolayer materials.

High-pressure research can be used to probe structure on an atomic level ... often have weaknesses at the boundaries between crystal grains. Metallic glasses lack these defects, which makes ...

Unfortunately, typical metallic luster materials cause environmental ... The team attributed this to the unique crystal structure of DS-DA1 with two coexisting assembled states, revealing that ...

A new study by Professor Tao Sun tracks the evolution of crystallographic defects in real time during metal additive manufacturing.

A joint research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo has developed a new computational method that can efficiently determine the crystal structures of multiphase ...
