When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...

The structure hit another facade feature on the fifth floor, leaving it dislodged and dangling. Read more at straitstimes.com ...

Microstructural analysis of this forged iron structure revealed an extraordinary convergence of properties that resulted in the metal’s resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, the hammering did ...

A Grandview family narrowly escaped Saturday’s storm and strong winds that destroyed the metal structure they have been ...

Metal nanoparticles are nanoscale structures composed of metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and copper. These particles typically range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers and exhibit unique physical ...

Most metals are malleable – they can be bent and shaped without breaking. This is because they consist of layers of ions that can slide over one another when the metal is bent, hammered or pressed.

The metal ions form nodes that bind the arms of the linkers together to form a repeating, cage-like structure. Due to this hollow structure, MOFs have an extraordinarily large internal surface area.

In the diagrams presented in the other three sections, the points show where atoms would lie if there were no motion due to heat; that is, if the metal's temperature were at absolute zero (-273°C).
