Superionic materials are a class of materials that simultaneously present properties that are characteristic of solids and liquids. Essentially, a set of ions in these materials exhibits liquid-like ...
Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation rechargeable batteries. Unlike today's popular lithium-ion batteries that ...
Molecular dynamics simulations have shown that after initial surface melting, nanowires can melt via two mechanisms: an interface front moves towards the wire centre; the growth of instabilities at ...
