Nanoscale imaging shows ice can form across flat microcline surfaces without relying only on cracks or step edges.

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 ...

Medium- and high-entropy alloys are hugely promising materials in metallurgy and catalysis, but their atomic-scale structure — and how that relates to their properties — is not well understood. A ...

Every high-energy nuclear collision leaves behind a trail of clues about the structure of atomic nuclei. Deciphering those ...

Physicists at CERN have recreated a state of matter from the Universe’s first moments by colliding atomic nuclei far smaller ...

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 ...
