What is the speed and timing of the Earth’s inner core cooling? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the composition ...

Atomic simulation serves as an indispensable microscope for modern science, bridging the gap between theoretical predictions and experimental results. However, the field has historically been ...

Researchers at Empa have developed the first fast and accurate atomic-scale simulation of amorphous aluminum oxide, a material widely used in coatings and electronics but poorly understood at the ...

A universal potential for all-purpose atomic simulations has been pursued for decades, but remains challenging due to limitations in model expressiveness and dataset construction. Now, writing in the ...

MIT-led researchers have, for the first time, directly mapped the 3D atomic and charge structure of relaxor ferroelectrics, materials critical to sensors and energy devices. Using multi-slice electron ...

Continuous downscaling of the critical dimensions in semiconductor devices is the cornerstone of technological revolution. As the technology nodes keep shrinking, innovations in fabrication ...

The background: To understand how complex materials behave at the atomic level, physicists calculate what are known as ...
