MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...

Researchers at MIT have identified hidden atomic patterns within metal alloys. These patterns persist even after heating, cooling and deformation. The discovery challenges the belief that metal atoms ...

The phenomenon that forms interference patterns on television displays when a camera focuses on a pattern like a person wearing stripes has inspired a new way to conceptualize electronic devices.
