Melting without heat?
Why do materials melt? Because they get hot – this normally means that the atoms that make up the material vibrate so energetically that they escape their confined environment and start to move around. This notion of atoms heating up and vibrating more and more gets confused at very short timescales. Using very short intense… Read More ›
Driving a supercomputer
Dr Danilo Roccatano was awarded supercomputer time by EPSRC (UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) for two 6 months pilot projects at ARCHER, UK national High Performance Computing facility.
