A team of researchers found that randomly selected, high-angle, general grain boundaries in a nickel-bismuth (Ni-Bi) polycrystalline alloy can undergo interfacial reconstruction to form ordered ...

Imagine if surgeons could transplant healthy neurons into patients living with neurodegenerative diseases or brain and spinal cord injuries. And imagine if they could "grow" these neurons in the ...

Researchers have found how mirror-image molecules gain control over each other and dictate the physical state of superstructures. Research at the University of Liverpool has found how mirror-image ...

To mimic natural protein assemblies, Samuel I. Stupp and coworkers at Northwestern University set out to make a hydrogel that could undergo reversible changes in stiffness. They succeeded using ...

The discovery of oxygen "superstructures" in cuprate materials by two independent teams of physicists could help shed new light on the origins of high-temperature superconductivity, which has been one ...
