Towards better metallic glasses
Nov 03, 2016 (SPX)
Researchers from the University of Bristol have used state-of-the-art computer simulation to test a theory from the 1950s that when atoms organise themselves in...
Nickel-78 is a doubly magic isotope supercomputer confirms
Nov 03, 2016 (SPX)
For many of us, the term "doubly magic" may evoke images of Penn and Teller. However, for nuclear physicists, it describes atomic nuclei that have greater stabi...
Smashing metallic cubes toughens them up
Nov 03, 2016 (SPX)
Scientists at Rice University are smashing metallic micro-cubes to make them ultrastrong and tough by rearranging their nanostructures upon impact. The Rice tea...
The quantum sniffer dog
Nov 03, 2016 (SPX)
As humans, we sniff out different scents and aromas using chemical receptors in our noses. In technological gas detection, however, there are a whole host of ot...
Metamaterial device allows chameleon-like behavior in the infrared
Nov 03, 2016 (SPX)
An electric current will not only heat a hybrid metamaterial, but will also trigger it to change state and fade into the background like a chameleon in what may...
Researchers bring eyewear-free 3-D capabilities to small screen
Nov 02, 2016 (SPX)
Convertible video displays that offer both 2D and 3D imaging without the need of any eyewear offer greater convenience to users who would otherwise have to keep...
Novel light sources made of 2-D materials
