As modern technologies shrink to the nanoscale, surfaces increasingly dictate how materials deform, yield, and fail. Yet ...

Extreme, transient conditions produced by nuclear detonations can generate solid-state phases inaccessible to conventional ...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic ...

Materials called relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies like ultrasounds, microphones, and sonar ...

A computational method combining generative AI with atomistic simulations can identify promising platinum alloy catalyst structures for hydrogen fuel cells, report researchers from Science Tokyo.

For the first time, researchers directly characterized the 3D atomic structure of a relaxor ferroelectric, a class of ...

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 ...

Nirupa Nagaratnam works in a pristine lab on an upper floor of ASU’s Biodesign Institute, Building C. She often sits at a microscope, peering into a plastic plate with miniature wells (think of the ...

Actin filaments - protein structures critical to living movement from single cells to animals - have long been known to have polarity associated with their physical characteristics, with growing ...
