Diverging and converging patterns forming on the surface of solidifying liquid metals resemble plotlines in a complex historical novel, in a new international study. The cyclic patterns observed are ...

During the liquid-to-solid transition of alloys with very small concentrations of a minor component, surface patterns emerge that feature enrichment of the minor component. These periodic surface ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced electronics manufacturing demands precise control over multiple layers of functional materials. Each layer - whether conducting electricity, emitting light, or processing ...
