Unveiling the Mystery: The Science Behind Delta-Plutonium’s Unique Heat Response Most materials expand when heated. This happens because the rising temperature causes atoms to vibrate, leading to an increase in the distance between them. However, a recent groundbreaking discovery in the field of materials science has shed light on the peculiar behavior of delta-plutonium when […]
Quasicrystals are not flukes: Here’s solid proof they’re real and stable
Quasicrystals are not flukes: Here’s solid proof they’re real and stable In normal crystals like salt or diamond, atoms are arranged in patterns that repeat over and over again, forming a predictable and symmetrical structure. However, quasicrystals break this conventional mold. These exotic materials have puzzled scientists since their discovery in the 1980s due to […]
