The heat treatment process is a key technology to improve the performance of cast aluminum-copper alloys with micro-nano boron nitride (BN) particles, but its strengthening mechanism still needs to be ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN assistant editor Ananya Palivela about recent advances in quantum computing. Ananya and Craig talk about the results of ...

Granular materials, such as agricultural products, solids, soil particles, gravel, coal, and rock, consist of grains in contact with surrounding air pores. The mechanical behaviour of granular ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and physicists focus on subtle interactions in quantum materials and to uncover ...
