A sensor that can withstand the crushing forces inside a diamond anvil cell

Posted on by Haptic

Since their invention more than 60 years ago, diamond anvil cells have made it possible for scientists to recreate extreme phenomena – such as the crushing pressures deep inside the Earth’s mantle – or to enable chemical reactions that can only be triggered by intense pressure, all within the confines of a laboratory apparatus that Read more about A sensor that can withstand the crushing forces inside a diamond anvil cell[…]

Artificial Intelligence used to discover Metallic Glass

Posted on by Haptic

SLAC and its collaborators are transforming the way new materials are discovered. In a new report, they combine artificial intelligence and accelerated experiments to discover potential alternatives to steel in a fraction of the time. Blend two or three metals together and you get an alloy that usually looks and acts like a metal, with Read more about Artificial Intelligence used to discover Metallic Glass[…]
