A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new aluminum alloy called RidgeAlloy that can turn contaminated car-body scrap into strong structural vehicle parts. Normally, impurities ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

Researchers developed a method that gradually adds and removes atoms in simulations, enabling realistic modeling of crystal defects that affect material strength.

Finland’s FiR 1 research reactor and OK3 laboratory in Otaniemi have been released from regulatory control after successful ...

Wright-Patterson has played a central role in the US military’s real investigations into mysterious objects in the sky — from Cold War-era research programs to efforts to study what the government now ...

Neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and depression, have emerged as major global health challenges, affecting hundreds of millions ...

Nvidia and Idaho National Laboratory entered a partnership to accelerate nuclear R&D using AI. Copper prices jumped following ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

The UK has established its first sovereign manufacturing capability for ultrahigh temperature materials - vital for space, hypersonic and propulsion ...
