Ever since graphene’s discovery 2 decades ago, the iconic 1-atom-thick sheet of carbon has inspired researchers to create a ...

Instead of weakening the structure, these broken bonds provide just the right charge balance to keep the material stable, acting like an atomic-scale glue. Like magnets, polarized materials have ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have used a method called crystallography to determine the atomic structure of materials. The method works by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample and ...

In Section IV, the obtained results for the vacancy migration are reported and the vacancy/tracer diffusivity in the hcp structure is discussed ... defect energies in crystallites where the atomic ...

Both rubies and emeralds are minerals, which is a type of rock with a consistent chemical composition and a highly ordered structure at the atomic level. When this highly ordered structure extends ...

A metal alloy composed of niobium, tantalum, titanium, and hafnium has shocked materials ... out how they arise from interactions in the atomic structure. Their work is described in a study ...

Abstract: Excellent silicon surface passivation is demonstrated by the HfOx film deposited using optimized atomic layer deposition (ALD ... intrinsic in nature and are incorporated in the film ...
