Alloys created by mixing three atomic species (medium-entropy alloys, or MEAs) or five species or more (high-entropy alloys, or HEAs) have emerged as hot properties in materials science. In metallurgy ...

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have revealed how the precise ...

Imagine having a super-powered lens that uncovers hidden secrets of ultra-thin materials used in our gadgets. Research led by University of Florida engineering professor Megan Butala enables a novel ...

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 ...

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 have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

Processing diamond surfaces with femtosecond lasers yields a trade-off between hydrophilicity and low defect rate.

(Nanowerk News) When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max ...
