The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

M (MMM) installs rare atomic-scale electron microscope to speed materials R&D, linking structure to performance across ...

$$\frac{V\left(T\right)-{V}_{0}}{{V}_{0}}=3{\alpha }_{{{{{\rm{l}}}}}\left(T-{T}_{0}\right),$$ Understanding the structure of metallic glasses is difficult due to ...

A method to interpret artificial intelligence (AI) models used in materials discovery by analyzing their learned features has been developed by researchers from Japan. The method extracts key features ...

Atomic nuclei are often described as orderly systems. Certain numbers of protons or neutrons, called magic numbers, usually produce especially stable and spherical nuclei. These numbers fill entire ...

Determining the 3D atomic structures of multi-element nanoparticles in their native liquid environment is crucial to understanding their physicochemical properties. Graphene liquid cell (GLC) TEM ...

Metallic materials used in engineering must be strong and ductile – capable of carrying high mechanical loads while able to withstand deformation without breaking. Whether a material is weak or strong ...

The global transition toward net-zero emissions calls for scalable and carbon-free hydrogen production technologies that can be seamlessly integrated into ...

In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
