In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...

What was discovered: Scientists observed that electron crystals in metals can deform and melt like solids, disrupting their ordered patterns. Why it matters: Manipulating these structures could enable ...

Charge density waves in metals accumulate defects and melt much like physical solids, a behavior that could be harnessed for ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...
