Researchers recently discovered a helicoidal-shaped defect in layered polymers, uncovering how solvents can diffuse through layers and produce color changes. Dr. Edwin L. Thomas, professor in the ...
Scientists have no problem making a menagerie of nanometer-sized objects -- wires, tubes, belts, and even tree-like structures. What they sometimes have been unable to do is explain precisely how ...
Dr. Edwin L. Thomas, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, a team of researchers from Texas A&M University and Yonsei University recently discovered a helicoidal-shaped ...
The relaxed state of a type of topological defect (screw dislocation) located in a dispersive (non-local) elastic solid is discussed from a viewpoint of gauge field theory. The starting point of this ...
Building large-scale quantum technologies requires reliable ways to connect individual quantum bits (qubits) without ...
Recently, a research group developed a giant magneto-superelasticity of 5% in a Ni34Co8Cu8Mn36Ga14 single crystal. This was achieved by introducing arrays of ordered dislocations to form ...
With Bragg coherent diffractive imaging it is now possible to image the evolution of the entire dislocation network within a microcrystal during growth and dissolution. Figure 1: The effect of ...
