Researchers at the European XFEL have developed a new device for X-ray measurements at high photon energies—a so-called Laue ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could ...

The focus of the study was a bulk single crystal of a topological kagome metal, known as CsV3Sb5—a metal that becomes superconducting below 2.5 degrees Kelvin, or minus 455 degrees Fahrenheit. The ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum alloy at the atomic scale, searching for the key to its strength, when he ...

A research team from the Institute of Statistical Mathematics and Panasonic Holdings Corporation has developed a machine ...

Researchers at the European XFEL have developed a new device for X-ray measurements at high photon energies–a so-called Laue spectrometer. It enables X-ray light with photon energies of over 15 ...

The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a time ... Dislocation motion in a crystal is analogous to moving a rug over a floor by introducing a ruck on one edge.

As the electrons penetrate the sample surface, they interact with the atomic planes of the crystal lattice, causing some electrons to be backscattered. These backscattered electrons form a diffraction ...
