Scientists have developed an AI system that can rapidly predict complex defect patterns in liquid crystals, cutting simulation times from hours to milliseconds. The approach could transform how ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have sought to leverage atomic defects to enhance electrocatalytic performance for clean energy applications. However, the inability to precisely study defects' ...

Emergence of anti-hyperuniform defect organization in active nematics. At high activity (left), topological defects are distributed nearly uniformly throughout the system. Reducing activity toward a ...
