Abstract: Two a-alumina bicrystals doped with titanium were fabricated in different atmospheres: air and Ar-H 2 mixed gas. The grain boundaries (GBs) of the bicrystals were investigated by ...

Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing stronger amorphous materials. Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of ...

Add a description, image, and links to the interactive-atomic-structure-visualization topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

Scientists have discovered a brand-new material with a unique atomic structure—something they weren’t even looking for. While trying to make borophene, a promising but elusive two-dimensional material ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...

A schematic diagram of proton and neutron distributions for mirror nuclei argon-31 and aluminum-31. Left side is the weakly bound proton-rich nucleus argon-31, which is predicted to exhibit a ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...

Insulin-derived amyloidosis results in a loss of control of blood sugar levels due to impaired insulin absorption and is accompanied by an insulin dose increase for type I diabetes patients. Although ...

Structure Analyzer/Featurizer (SAF) is a Python package to generate geometric features of interatomic distances, atomic environment information, and coordination numbers from a folder containing .cif ...

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 ...
