A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using simulated electron microscopy data. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new model for disordered materials to study how amorphous materials resist stress. They treated groups of atoms and ...

Topological materials' unique properties make them a great choice for making next-generation devices. In order to exploit them, it was thought that crystalline materials, where atoms are highly ...

Lithium-ion batteries power most electronics, but they have limited energy density – they can store only a certain amount of energy per mass or volume of the battery. “In order to store even more ...

Researchers have unveiled a remarkable new material with potential to impact the world of material science: amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC). Beyond its exceptional strength, this material ...

In recent years, investigators have been researching special materials known as topological materials, with a focus on the shape, or topology, of their electronic structures (electronic bands).

The matter of how metals deform or respond to external stresses has been extensively studied among metallurgists for centuries. When it comes to conventional metals—the crystalline kind with atoms ...
