Their “swimmers” consisted of a sample of platinum atoms covered in a salty solution, or adatoms, because they were sitting on mineral crystals. Once it was in the liquid graphene, the solid ...

Laser cooling via atomic transitions is well established and a natural choice for atoms, but it does not work for solids," says lead-author Uros Delic from the University of Vienna.

These atoms inherit the dynamics of high-temperature liquid atoms, revealing the nature of metallic glasses as part-solid and part-liquid. Results were published in Nature Materials.

As a solid, at the right temperature, there are predictions that helium-4 can enter the super-solid state, while helium-3, which is not a boson, will not. The problem is that the super-solid is ...

Even at room temperature, liquid-like atoms in a glassy solid can diffuse just as easily as in its liquid state, with an experimentally determined viscosity as low as 10 7 Pa·s, while the viscosity of ...

Speaking crystal: AI learns language of atom arrangements in solids Date: December 7, 2024 Source: University of Reading Summary: A new artificial intelligence model can predict how atoms arrange ...

Atoms within the enormous ball of iron in Earth's inner core may move around much more than previously thought, which could explain recent findings about the core's surprising softness.

It is difficult to study what happens when a solid melts because the individual atoms are too small to see and because the action takes place inside the solid. However, Yodh and colleagues have ...
