New Antiferromagnet May Help Develop and Monitor Key Materials

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without resistance at very low temperatures. From the moment when superconductors were discovered by physicists, they in fact wondered whether it could be possible to produce materials that are capable of exhibiting the same properties at warmer temperatures.

Gold Compound Shifts from Visible to Invisible Fluorescence

Certain materials luminesce, changing their color and intensity when exposed to mechanical forces such as rubbing or grinding. These luminescent “mechanochromic” materials can create a range of emission colors in the visible light spectrum, from blue to red. Their color-changes under force are properly documented, and are caused by variations to the molecules’ crystal structures.

Duke's Sho Yaida Settles a 30-Year-Old Mystery About Nature of Glass and Disordered Materials

When you zoom in on a crystal, you will find an ordered array of atoms that are evenly spaced like the windows on the Empire State Building. But when you zoom in on a piece of glass, the picture looks a bit messier, more like a random pile of sand, or maybe be the windows on a Frank Gehry building.

New Technique Enables Real-Time Monitoring of Materials in High-Radiation Environments

A new advance on a method formulated by MIT Researchers could enable continuous, high-precision monitoring of materials exposed to a high-radiation environment. The technique may allow these materials to last much longer, removing the need for preventive replacement. It could also accelerate the search for new and better materials for these challenging environments.
