This review paper published in AI & Materials explores the implementation of first-principles calculation method within high-entropy carbides ceramics (HECCs) research, specifically examining its role ...

A recent NSR paper measures mechanical properties of solids as a function of both crystalline grain size and grain-boundary thickness The world of solid materials is not composed solely of perfectly ...

(Nanowerk News) Metal nanoclusters are tiny, crystalline structures up to two nanometers (2 x 10-9 meters) in diameter that contain a few to hundreds of metal atoms. Understanding the precise assembly ...

For more than a century, schoolbook physics has divided matter into neat categories like solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. A ...

Schools of fish, colonies of bees, and murmurations of starlings exhibit swarming behavior in nature, flowing like a liquid in synchronized, shape-shifting coordination. Through the lens of fluid ...

High school science misses a lot of the science researchers actually work with. For example, you learn that there are three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—but in advanced physics, things get ...

Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...

Solid-state batteries charge in a fraction of the time, run cooler, and pack more energy into less space than traditional lithium-ion versions. A new review from the University of California, ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have developed a new type of lidar—a laser-based remote-sensing instrument—that can observe cloud structures at the scale of a single centimeter. The ...
