Drexel University researchers create innovative technique to study the exact electrochemical mechanisms occurring in batteries and supercapacitors. Using two scientific research procedures ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) have usedquantum mechanical ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence that can predict how a piece of glass responds to heat and pressure could one day also be used to model traffic flow. While most solid materials have a regular atomic ...

Sarah T. Stewart is the director of the Shock Compression Lab at UC Davis and co-principal investigator for a new NSF-funded center to study a new area of physics. University of California, Davis, ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

Electrons are defined as very small particles with a negative electrical charge that travels around the nucleus of an atom. This atom speck is responsible for several unique properties, such as wave ...

In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
