In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful new properties. Today, atomic-scale defects are carefully introduced during ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure. Discovering new materials with customizable and optimized properties, driven either by ...

A team of researchers has successfully predicted abnormal grain growth in simulated polycrystalline materials for the first time -- a development that could lead to the creation of stronger, more ...

A general-purpose LLM is fine-tuned with inorganic material knowledge datasets and used to predict the synthesizability and precursor compounds of hypothetical inorganic materials. Seoul National ...

Cosmic-ray muon sources exhibit distinct scattering angle distributions when interacting with materials of different atomic numbers (Z values), facilitating the identification of various Z-class ...

Carbon forms the graphite in pencils, the diamonds in jewelry and the molecules that make up every living thing. But under ...
