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 ...

Why do certain surfaces behave very differently from what theoretical calculations suggest? Scientists long assumed that the ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

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 ...
