A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using simulated electron microscopy data. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the ...

Topological materials' unique properties make them a great choice for making next-generation devices. In order to exploit them, it was thought that crystalline materials, where atoms are highly ...

Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing stronger amorphous materials. Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the three-dimensional positions and elemental identities of atoms in amorphous materials.

In recent years, investigators have been researching special materials known as topological materials, with a focus on the shape, or topology, of their electronic structures (electronic bands).

For a long time, it was thought that amorphous solids do not selectively absorb light because of their disordered atomic structure. A new study disproves this theory and shows that amorphous solids ...

A recent study in Nature Communications explored nanoporous amorphous carbon nanopillars, produced using an innovative method that combines self-assembled polymeric carbon precursors with nanoimprint ...
