Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information ...

Before trinitite, the only known naturally formed quasicrystal came from meteorite fragments, likely produced during a ...

Using the second-nearest neighboring atoms to predict metallic glass stability can help researchers more accurately model the ...

A long-standing mystery in materials science is beginning to unravel as researchers directly probe the hidden atomic complexity of relaxor ferroelectrics.

Insulators are materials in which electrons cannot move freely. Past theoretical studies predicted the existence of an ...
