A materials engineer at the University of California San Diego is leading the development of a new research platform for studying high-performance materials, in particular new materials that melt ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Physicists have finally filmed a crystal as it melts and discovered that, under the right conditions, it refuses to behave ...

A team of materials scientists has developed a new bio based carbon material that can store thermal energy more efficiently ...

High pressure thermodynamics examines how extreme pressures alter the internal energy, phase stability and melting behaviour of materials. Under such conditions, the atomic interactions can change ...

WEBVTT JOYCE: CAROLINE REINWALD IS LIVE IN MILWAUKEE, SHOWING US SOME SALT ALTERNATIVES. CAROLINE: YOU CAN SEE THE SNOW BLOWING AROUND, LIKE MARK WAS DESCRIBING. ABOUT A QUARTER INCH ON THE GROUND.

A new study helps to reconcile a Nobel Prize-winning theory with experiments on how solids actually melt. In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory ...

Researchers have used video microscopy to observe premelting — localized loss of order at temperatures below the bulk melting transition — at grain boundaries and ...

Kenneth Golden, a mathematician at the University of Utah, was perusing images of Arctic sea ice when he noticed a pattern that seemed familiar. When seen from above, the melting sea ice looked like a ...

This series of articles is designed to help molders understand how a few analytical tools can help diagnose a part failure. Michael Sepe is our analyst and author. He is the technical director at ...
