A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

control of seed-crystal shapes is an important goal. Researchers used two computational approaches, parallel-tempering molecular dynamics (MD) and partial replica exchange MD, to estimate the most ...
