Mycorrhizal fungi
// Journal Covers
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) perform an important ecosystem service by improving plant nutrient capture from soil, yet little is known about how AMF influence soil microbial communities during nutrient uptake. We tested whether an AMF modifies the soil microbial community and nitrogen cycling during litter decomposition.
Book cover
// Journal Covers
This volume provides a detailed treatment of half-metallic materials and their properties from both an experimental and theoretical point of view.
Molecular models
// Journal Covers
A mixed parallel scheme that combines message passing interface (MPI) and multithreading was implemented in the AutoDock Vina molecular docking program.
Crystal images
// Journal Covers
The inhibitory effect of linear enantiomers of L- and D-Asp6 on the growth of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystal has been investigated using in situ atomic force microscopy.
Simulation of dislocation in a material
// Journal Covers
We present a computational method for identifying partial and interfacial dislocations in atomistic models of crystals with defects.
Hydrogen structure
// Journal Covers
Advances in computational methods have made it possible to elucidate ever more of hydrogen's and helium's properties. Some of these methods that have been applied in recent years, in particular, those that perform simulations directly from the physical picture of electrons and ions, such as density functional theory and quantum Monte Carlo are reviewed.
Proton beam imaging
// Journal Covers
Proton imaging is commonly used to reveal the electric and magnetic fields that are found in high energy density plasmas. Presented here is an analysis of this technique that is directed towards developing additional insight into the underlying physics.
Molecular model
// Journal Covers
Polymer‐derived, monolithic three‐dimensional nanographene (3D‐NG) bulk material with tunable properties is produced by a simple and inexpensive approach.
Book cover
// Journal Covers
This book, as a volume of the Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library, is primarily concerned with the fundamental theory of detonation physics in gaseous and condensed phase reactive media.
Molecular model
// Journal Covers
P-31 NMR data suggests that phosphates are liberated freely in the interlayer of a cobalt‐hydroxide water‐oxidation catalyst.
