Researchers observed 2D melting in real time by tracking skyrmions, revealing how ordered magnetic lattices become disordered at the microscopic level. (Nanowerk News) What occurs during the melting ...

A new study by scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has used computer modeling to rank the factors responsible for the Larsen C ice shelf melt according to their severity. The review is an ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory of how phase changes could occur in two-dimensional materials.

In the foundry industry, where a high level of economic efficiency is required, increasingly stringent quality demands need specific requirements in terms of operational behavior and material ...

A sophisticated unmanned submarine transmitted valuable data to its operator before disappearing in Antarctic waters.

A new study helps to reconcile a Nobel Prize-winning theory with experiments on how solids actually melt. In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory ...

Snapshots of the skyrmion lattice during the melting: an ordered skyrmion lattice on the left while the lattice structure has vanished on the right. What occurs during the melting process in ...
