Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations ...

In a recent study published in Engineering, a team of researchers has made significant strides in understanding optical singularities within photonic microstructures. This research presents a unified ...

The wetting and adhesion characteristics of solid surfaces critically depend on their fine structures. However, until now, our understanding of exactly how the sliding behavior of liquid droplets ...

Topical semi-solids, like creams, lotions and ointments are comprised of a complex mixture of microstructures or colloidal phases, frequently referred to as the Q3. These microstructures may include ...

Extending the crystal plasticity model [2.1] to investigate how grain pairs interact, to increase our understanding of how deformation traverses interfaces. Off In the general case for bcc and fcc ...

Groundbreaking research unveils unified theory for optical singularities in photonic microstructures (Nanowerk News) In a recent study published in Engineering ("Optical Singularities in Photonic ...
