Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University have demonstrated that ordinary graphite flakes, some as thin as 10 ...

Virtual apertures let researchers isolate and solve atomic structures from individual nanocrystals embedded in dense clusters, providing valuable new data for energy and pharmaceutical applications.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Abstract: Coercivity enhancement of Ga-containing Nd-Fe-B as-sintered magnets driven by the microstructural changes occurring during post-sinter annealing was studied via feature extraction and ...

X-ray “molecular movies” reveal how intense lasers tear apart C 60 molecules and push us closer to directing chemical reactions with light. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com FEL X-ray ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Carbon fiber is a critical material in a wide range of industries, where it is highly valued for its high specific strength/stiffness, excellent wear resistance, efficient electrical and thermal ...
