If such a world exists, metallic elements are likely the sources of the dissolved materials and particles in these oceans. Everything would be made of metallic elements, even lifeforms. It may sound ...

Scientists have pulled off a rare feat of watching platinum crystals grow inside liquid metal in real time, a process that has remained elusive to researchers for decades. The breakthrough offers a ...

A multinational team of researchers, co-led by a City University of Hong Kong (CityU) physicist, has found that a novel metallic crystal displays unusual electronic behaviour on its surface, thanks to ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

Researchers have successfully grown platinum crystals in liquid metal, using a powerful X-ray technique giving rare insight into how these delicate crystals form and grow. More than a beautiful ...

Making a new material is one thing, explaining how you did it is another. Materials engineering Ph.D. candidate Jerry Howard excels at both. Howard developed a new “recipe” for making metallic glass ...

The erudite science of solid-state physics can predict from theory how strong a metallic crystal should be if all its atoms were arranged in a perfect, regular pattern. The figure is usually so high ...

IN a letter to NATURE (May 22, 1926, p. 720), Messrs. W. E. Millington and F. C. Thompson have proposed a formula for the angle of a uniform wedge formed by the fracture of a single metallic crystal, ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine an alien world with oceans of liquid metal. If such a world exists, metallic elements are likely the sources of the dissolved materials and particles in these oceans.

Researchers have found that a novel metallic crystal displays unusual electronic behavior on its surface, thanks to the crystal's unique atomic structure. Their findings open up the possibility of ...

IN a letter to NATURE (May 22, p. 720), Messrs. Millington and Thompson discussed the wedge-shaped fracture which ordinarily results from a tensile test on a single metallic crystal. On the assumption ...
