Researchers have identified an unexpected link between atomic magnetism and carbon mobility in steel. Researchers at the ...

Imperfections in the regular atomic arrangements in crystals determine many of the properties of a material, and their diffusion is behind many microstructural changes in solids. However, imaging ...

Materials scientists from The Grainger College of Engineering have provided the first quantitative explanation for a phenomenon first observed in iron in the 1970s.

Physicists at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany have observed how individual atoms diffuse through a gas for the first time, and how individual collisions between particles affect diffusion.

In the world of research, diffusion is understood as a process in which tiny particles disperse uniformly throughout a gas or liquid. Although these media are made up of individual particles, ...

Researchers from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Grainger College of Engineering have presented the first physical ...

State-of-the-art techniques make it possible to build a spin-chain quantum simulator based on laser-trapped circular Rydberg atoms. This simulator combines the flexibility of atomic lattices and the ...

(Phys.org)—A small team of researchers with affiliations to institutions in Italy, Japan and the U.S. has created a simulation that suggests that it should be possible for a single photon to ...
