We introduce and discuss a method for global optimization of atomic structures based on the introduction of additional degrees of freedom describing: 1) the chemical identities of the atoms, 2) the ...

Nanomaterials with core-shell architectures are prominent examples of strain-engineered materials. The lattice mismatch between the core and shell materials can cause strong interface strain, which ...

Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across ...

Researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures ...

New theoretical physics research introduces a simulation method of machine-learning-based effective Hamiltonian for super-large-scale atomic structures. This effective Hamiltonian method could ...

Proteins are the molecular workhorses of the human body. They perform a vast range of essential functions, from building ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

Scientists have revolutionized the way metals are made by using lower and slower heating of alloys to control how atoms self-organize during material manufacturing. The discovery, published in Science ...

Researchers have created an innovative method to visualize and analyze atomic structures within specially designed, ultrathin bilayer 2D materials. (Nanowerk News) Researchers with the Oak Ridge ...

Keeping time is easy, keeping precise time is hard, but a new type of clock based on atomic nuclei has pushed time-keeping ...

X, a generative AI model that predicts and designs protein–protein interactions. By building interfaces from the bottom up, ...
