NEWS RELEASES
Grain boundaries go with the flow
Rice engineers who mimic atom-scale processes to make them big enough to see have modeled how shear influences grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials. That the boundaries can change so readily was not entirely a surprise to the researchers, who used spinning arrays of magnetic particles to view what they suspect happens at the interface between misaligned crystal domains.

Bumps could smooth quantum investigations
Atoms do weird things when forced out of their comfort zones. Rice engineers have thought up a new way to give them a nudge. Materials theorist Boris Yakobson and his team at Rice’s George R. Brown School of Engineering have a theory that changing the contour of a layer of 2D material, thus changing the relationships between its atoms, might be simpler to do than previously thought.
