The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

In a transparent medium, each photon is accompanied by an atomic mass density wave, scientists can demonstrate. The optical force of the photon sets the medium atoms in motion and makes them carry 92% ...

A precise synthesis tunes platinum skin thickness on PtCu nanospheres and shows two atomic layers give the best oxygen ...

Hard drive capacity is getting surprisingly large these days, but the density of data written to traditional materials can only take us so far. Researchers from Delft University of Technology in the ...

In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical ...
