(Nanowerk News) A multinational team of researchers, co-led by a City University of Hong Kong (CityU) physicist, has found that a novel metallic crystal displays unusual electronic behaviour on its ...

Making a new material is one thing, explaining how you did it is another. Materials engineering Ph.D. candidate Jerry Howard excels at both. Howard developed a new “recipe” for making metallic glass ...

THE three principal crystal structures of the metallic elements, the face-centred cubic (f.c.c), the body-centred cubic (b.c.c.) and the hexagonal close-packed (h.c.p.), follow a cyclic pattern as sub ...

X-ray diffraction shows that the high-pressure modifications (at 22 to 130 kilobars) of the antimonides of indium, gallium, and aluminum are analogous to white tin. The arsenide and phosphide of ...
