Materials strength: does size matter? nanoMATERIALS simulation toolkit tutorial
Online Presentations | 01 Feb 2007 | Contributor(s):: Alejandro Strachan
Molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful technique to characterize the fundamental, atomic-level processes that govern materials behavior and is playing an important role in our understanding of the new phenomena that arises in nanoscale and nanostructured materials and result in their unique...

Nanomaterials: from Art to Applications
Online Presentations | 04 Jan 2007 | Contributor(s):: Howard E. Katz, Jonah Erlebacher, Peter C. Searson
The current revolution in materials technologies is being driven by the ability to observe and control nanometer-scale features, and even to manipulate objects the size of single molecules. Research being conducted at the Johns Hopkins Department of Materials Science and Engineering has a...

Materials Science on the Atomic Scale with the 3-D Atom Probe
Online Presentations | 08 Nov 2006 | Contributor(s):: George D. W. Smith
Some of the key goals of materials science and technology are to be able to design a material from first principles, to predict its behaviour, and also to optimise the processing route for its manufacture. In recent years, these goals have come closer to realisation, thanks in part to the...

Nanomaterials: Quantum Dots, Nanowires and Nanotubes
Online Presentations | 15 Jul 2005 | Contributor(s):: Timothy D. Sands
What is a quantum dot? What is a nanowire? What is a nanotube? Why are these interesting and what are their potential applications? How are they made? This presentation is intended to begin to answer these questions while introducing some fundamental concepts such as wave-particle duality,...
