A novel simulation of metallic glasses demonstrates that atomic relaxation modes during deformation depend on the density of local minima in the systems’ underlying potential energy landscape (PEL).

We discovered dislocations in the electrical double layer (EDL) in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) by direct 3D atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging with molecular resolution.
Researchers have developed a process1 to make thermosets—plastics once stuck in their final forms due to cross-linking of chemical bonds—that can now be reshaped and reused.
A multimodal imaging platform was developed that, for the first time, provides co-registered topographic, nanomechanical, and chemical imaging information (via mass spectrometry) of a surface with submicron pixel size.
