"We were looking specifically for metallic ... compounds that have not been synthesized as actual wires yet, but that simulations suggest as feasible. They then proceeded to compute their ...

SUNAYANA: This is the fifth episode in an eight-part series on bonding, structure and properties. In this episode, we’re going to look at metallic bonding and properties of metals. TULELA ...

Half-metals are unique magnetic compounds that have been attracting interest in the development of mass-storage technologies.

This type of electron delocalization acts as a new mechanism of bond shortening that might occur in other metallic glasses as well — with consequences for their mechanical properties.
