Introduction to modern computational methods for calculating thermodynamic, transport, and structural properties of materials. Computational chemistry, molecular simulation, and mesoscopic methods, ...

A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan. The findings come ...

Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...

Researchers have developed a new mechanical model that simulates how whiskers bend within a follicle in response to an external force, paving the way toward better understanding of how whiskers ...

The course will be self-contained but will rely on continuum-based descriptions of the physical behavior of solids (CIV_ENV 417-1, or equivalent). Soft materials appear pervasively in Nature, in ...

The spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has undergone several mutations since the virus emerged in late 2019. The mutations ...
