For a crystal-clear view of cutting-edge science, step into Brandon Mercado’s lab in the basement of Kline Chemistry Laboratory. But there’s a new kid in town. CBIC’s Structural Science Facility now ...

Some materials behave unexpectedly. They crack differently than expected, or react in ways that are hard to explain. The ...

Materials scientists have sussed out the physical phenomenon underlying the promising electrical properties of a class of materials called superionic crystals through the investigation of CuCrSe2. A ...

Although polarized raman spectroscopy has been utilized by researchers globally for several years, this is the first time that it has been implemented for observing, measuring and tracing the ...

The article discusses how increasing disorder in the atomic structure of materials influences macroscopic heat conduction — a critical property for heat-management technologies. The materials studied ...

A research team has found the first evidence that a shaking motion in the structure of an atomically thin material possesses a naturally occurring circular rotation that could become the building ...

AZoNano speaks to Dr. John Miao about his involvement in the breakthrough research that could rewrite our understanding of how substances are formed at an atomic level. Using an innovative atomic ...

(Nanowerk News) Metallic materials used in engineering must be strong and ductile – capable of carrying high mechanical loads while able to withstand deformation without breaking. Whether a material ...
