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.

Atomic coordination patterns in bulk materials can predict stable MXene structures, offering a new design framework that expands the 2D materials landscape beyond conventional synthesis routes.

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 ...
