LLNL researchers have dived down to the atomic scale to resolve every “jiggle and wiggle” of atomic motion that underlies crystal strength.
The authors present a joint experimental–theoretical study that elucidates the key atomistic mechanisms associated with the initial stages of hydrogen uptake within MgB2.
This research addresses the factors that control the performance of layered transition-metal dichalcogenide catalysts based on molybdenum and tungsten, potentially useful materials for generating hydrogen.
A Livermore team devised guidelines to modify reflectivity across the solar spectrum, and optimize antireflective properties, by selecting appropriate features of hierarchical structures.
A Livermore team shows that a novel type of biomimetic channel-carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs)-is also laterally mobile in supported lipid membranes, mimicking biological protein behavior.
A Livermore team reports on the fabrication of amorphous photonic structures using pigmentary ferric oxide/silicon dioxide core–shell nanoparticles.
An international team of researchers report the discovery of a direct connection between a radio relic and a radio galaxy in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 3411–3412.
The key role of solid interfaces in determining thermodynamics and kinetics suggests a new paradigm for optimizing complex hydrides for solid-state hydrogen storage by engineering internal microstructure.
This study combines electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy to probe major element composition and autoradiography to map plutonium in order to examine the spatial relationships between plutonium and fallout composition in aerodynamic glassy fallout from a nuclear weapon test.
