In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers at New York’s Cornell University found that tiny metal particles bond best at a ...

Faster isn't always better when it comes to high-speed materials science, according to new Cornell research showing that tiny ...

Metallic lattices do not contain fixed numbers of atoms. This means that the chemical formula used for a metal is simply the symbol for the element. For example, the formula for iron is Fe, even ...

They have proposed the underlying origins of fragility in metallic glass (MG ... could be linked to the formation of covalent-like bonding between Al-Al interactions triggered by the introduction ...

An international team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a new method for analyzing actinides. The method provides unique insights into the electronic ...

However, oxides with transition metals that straddle the subtle boundary between covalent, ionic and metallic bonding show copious physical phenomena, ranging from high-T c superconductivity in ...

This is due to the increased positive charge on the metal ion and the increased number of electrons that are delocalised, resulting in stronger bonding.
