Seeing elements transform at the atomic scale for the first time
Atoms of one chemical element morphing into another have been observed for the first time revealing a new, safer way to potentially treat cancer with radiation. The research has just been published in the journal Nature Materials. The work was done as a...
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...
Escaping the quantum critical singularity; modulated magnetism in PrPtAI
The transition between ferromagnetism and paramagnetism in metals is one of the simplest examples of a continuous phase transition. Interesting behaviour is expected when the transition temperature becomes small because incoherent fluctuations above the transition...
