For many decades, the method to obtain atomic-level descriptions of chemical compounds and materials—be it a drug, a catalyst ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

Matlantis CSP has already produced early results across multiple systems—oxides, alloys, and phosphides—discovering more than 10 previously unknown stable crystals. In the Ga–Au–Ca system, it ...

A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...

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 ...

Atomic scale copper rich layers inside rare earth magnets suppress demagnetization, improving strength, stability, and ...

At extreme pressures and temperatures, water becomes superionic — a solid that behaves partly like a liquid and conducts electricity. This unusual form is believed to shape the magnetic fields of ...

Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

An international research team within the DFG Collaborative Research Center SFB/TRR 270 “HoMMage”, has published new findings on more efficient permanent magnets in the prestigious journal Nature ...

Data center servers, powerful smartphones, and your computer's motherboard have one thing in common. When these devices get ...

DIAMOND is generally thought to be one of the most perfect crystals occurring naturally: its atomic structure was first investigated in the very early days of X-ray crystal analysis. It turned out ...
