Researchers in the US and China have shown that diffusion at the atomic scale enables long nanowires of crystalline metals to be fabricated using a single-step moulding technique. The nanomoulding ...

Researchers have obtained the first direct observations of atomic diffusion inside a bulk material. The research could be used to give unprecedented insight into the lifespan and properties of new ...

A series of "states" (dots) connected with "transitions" (lines) in a complex system. Bigger dots correspond to states where more time is spent during simulation, thicker lines for faster transitions.
