The diagram shows the location of atoms close to an edge dislocation line that runs back into the screen. The green circle outlines a group of atoms close to the dislocation line that have larger ...

Imagine peering into the microscopic world where atoms, the fundamental building blocks of everything, come into view. Have ...

Climb is the motion of an edge dislocation normal to its slip plane. The process requires the addition or removal of atoms from the extra half plane of the dislocation by diffusion processes. Climb is ...

Theory of Dislocations provides unparalleled coverage of the fundamentals of dislocation theory, with applications to specific metal and ionic crystals. Rather than citing final results, step-by-step ...

Molecular model of a crystal containing a dissociated dislocation, atoms are encoded with the atomic shear strain. Below, snapshots of simulation results showing the relative positions of atoms in ...

Bubble rafts have long been used to model the bonding and packing of atoms. This tool has also been useful in investigating the behavior of dislocations. Since the bonding of the bubbles is analogous ...

Many important properties of metals are now understood to result from a kind of imperfection in crystal lattices that is called a dislocation. The theory is helping to transform metallurgy from an ...

Matter is made up of very small parts called atoms. Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different ...

For decades, Kurzweil has been prophesying the unstoppable rise of AI and its eventual merging with human intelligence.
