(Bend) Learn about the behavior of metal with animations that show how the atoms in metal shift, how imperfections in its structure allow it to change shape, how it bends, and why it loses ...

Let's take a look at a paper clip. A typical paper clip is made up of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms of iron. These atoms are tightly packed and in a crystalline structure, a regular ...

Researchers have a better understanding of how the crystal structure of some metals becomes stable through magnetism. Magnetic stabilization of the crystal structures of metals is rare. In some ...

Metals have vital roles in both the mechanism and architecture of biological macromolecules. Yet structures of metal-containing macromolecules in which metals are misidentified and/or suboptimally ...

Inspired by the internal structure of bones and bamboo, which both boast impressive strength-to-weight ratios, US researchers have created increased the toughness of various metals by altering the ...
