Discovering new materials: AI can simulate billions of atoms simultaneously
University of Southern California achieves breakthrough scalability for materials research, enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous models.
Innovators create molecular motors inside solid crystal to give exotic properties
From Hokkaido University 29/09/23 Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists are turning this idea on its head by exploring ways to incorporate moving parts into solids. This can enable the development of exotic new materials such as amphidynamic crystals—crystals which contain both rigid and mobile components—whose properties can be […]
