Argonne and Northwestern University scientists teamed up to understand how light interacts with metallic nanoframes, with implications for biosensing, quantum information science and beyond.
Olivine, the most common mineral in the upper 400 km (about 250 miles) of Earth’s interior, has long been studied for how it deforms. Scientists have identified two primary directions of dislocation ...
Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building ...
Grain boundaries determine how strong a material is: the more grain boundaries, the stronger the material. Grain boundaries move through a material, but how this movement works had until now remained ...
