When metal alloys are processed during manufacturing, the atoms of the combined elements are mixed together at random, according to conventional wisdom – but new research challenges this thinking, ...

Researchers at MIT have identified hidden atomic patterns within metal alloys. These patterns persist even after heating, cooling and deformation. The discovery challenges the belief that metal atoms ...

Today we're looking at Electron Beam Lithography using a scanning electron microscope Trump Warns of Threat to Social Security, Medicare 9-year-old girl’s 1962 cold case murder is finally solved Buzz ...

MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...

A computer simulation shows a metallic alloy where atoms (colored spheres) are arranged in subtle chemical patterns beneath a network of dislocations (green lines). These tangled defects move during ...
