Researchers used experiments and machine learning to accurately model the disordered atomic structure of amorphous aluminum oxide for the first time. A special feature of aluminum oxide is its ability ...

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 ...

An electron collides with a deformed nucleus and produces a single vector meson (J/Psi). The green cone indicates that the J/Psi production carries information about the size and shape of the nucleus, ...

Their unique properties come from their atomic structure, but that structure has stubbornly eluded direct measurement. Now a team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere has directly characterized the ...
