When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...

IN a paper on the “foam structure” of metals, in The international Journal of Metallography (iii., i), Prof. Quincke gives a summary of the conclusions which he states as the result of researches ...

Researchers have a better understanding of how the crystal structure of some metals becomes stable through magnetism. Magnetic stabilization of the crystal structures of metals is rare. In some metals ...

Let's take a look at a paper clip. A typical paper clip is made up of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms of iron. These atoms are tightly packed and in a crystalline structure, a regular arrangement ...

The study of collective dynamics and structure in liquid metals is integral to understanding the interplay between atomic motion and fluid organisation. Recent advances, both experimental and ...

Prof. Laura Gagliardi at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and Chemistry Department has developed a powerful new tool that harnesses electronic ...
