Deep inside every steel mill, every casting line, and every molten droplet of iron-based alloy, atoms are constantly jostling, colliding, and migrating through a dense, disordered liquid. How quickly ...

A group from Nagoya University in Japan has created a new technique for growing the tiny metal nanowires (NWs) that are expected to be used in next-generation electronics. Their results suggest a way ...

Researchers have obtained the first direct observations of atomic diffusion inside a bulk material. The research could be used to give unprecedented insight into the lifespan and properties of new ...

Researchers in the US and China have shown that diffusion at the atomic scale enables long nanowires of crystalline metals to be fabricated using a single-step moulding technique. The nanomoulding ...
