University of Illinois researchers can now explain the physical mechanisms behind click beetles’ clicking maneuver. Belonging to the Elateroidea family, a click beetle (or snapping beetle) is ...

First-principles calculations, rooted in quantum mechanics and executed without recourse to empirical parameters, provide a robust framework for predicting the mechanical and thermodynamic properties ...

If you are like most of us in the HVAC industry, you are a hands-on person - you don‘t want to mess with a lot of theory, but just get in and get the job done. But a refrigeration system is different ...

Bits, bytes and silicon transistors? Boy, you have it good -- back in 1953, state-of-the-art computers were made of gears, sprockets, chains and cams, and we trusted them to accurately wreck lives ...

This review paper published in AI & Materials explores the implementation of first-principles calculation method within high-entropy carbides ceramics (HECCs) research, specifically examining its role ...
