The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...
Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material, known as PAM ...
Using molecular dynamics simulations, the authors show that dipolar interaction with an irregular substrate leads to the formation of specific ice structures that reveal an unconventional ...
