A QUESTION of fundamental importance in the theory of the solid state is the nature of ... but the possibility of a closer approximation to the crystalline state should not entirely be, ruled ...

This course builds a framework for first year graduate (or equivalent) students to succeed in the core materials science and engineering curriculum by establishing a real space and k-space description ...

Based on the interlocking structure of chainmail, this material has all the best parts of both solids and liquids.

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

Scientists have elucidated how hydrogen and carbon monoxide is adsorbed into solids containing a crown-motif structure of ...

Gas transport through a metal cluster-containing crystalline solid. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide travel at different speeds due to their molecular size relative to the size of nanoscale tunnels in the ...

This chanmail-like material can morph and adapt like fluids or solids.

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it ...
