RAILWAY AGE, JANUARY 2022 ISSUE: Dangerous fatigue cracks develop in sound steel. Here’s how. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic that ...

The film provides an introduction to crystal growth and structure, focusing on sodium chloride (common salt) as a primary example. It details the process of crystal formation under a microscope, ...

When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...

A visualization of an atom-thin crystal sandwiched between electrodes. Auburn physicists discovered that electrodes and tiny atomic imperfections help the material switch between insulating and ...

New findings show how imperfections and electrodes work together to power reliable, energy-efficient computer memory at the atomic scale. (Nanowerk News) Picture the smartphone in your pocket, the ...

For example, Z. Phys., 89, 605, 614, 634 (1934). Phil. Mag., 21, 399 (1936). The papers describing Rehbinder's work were given to me on my recent visit to Russia, but I have mislaid them and hence ...

For the first time, scientists have watched metal crystals take shape inside a pool of molten metal, capturing a process that usually unfolds out of sight in the heart of furnaces and casting lines.

A metal is comprised of many individual crystals, or grains. These crystals are held together by electrons in the same way that electrons hold the atoms within each crystal together. For more on this ...
