Transient melting of a nanocrystal: seeing is believing
Jesse Clark, working as a postdoc in the LCN group of Ian Robinson, has discovered a spectacular transient melting phenomenon in nanocrystals. Coherent X-ray diffraction experiments, carried out at the LCLS X-ray free electron laser facility at Stanford, have allowed...
Large-scale simulations of atom dynamics
Researchers develop a new method for simulating previously unstudied complex matter An international research team has developed a highly efficient novel method for simulating the dynamics of very large systems potentially containing millions of atoms, up to 1000...
