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 ...

The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a time." Dislocations interact with the microstructure of the material and these interactions are responsible for their ...

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 ...

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 ...
