Dislocation dynamics examines the behaviour of line defects within crystalline materials—imperfections that are central to understanding plastic deformation. At the microstructural level, the motion ...

Illustration of an intense laser pulse hitting a diamond crystal from top right, driving elastic and plastic waves (curved lines) through the material. The laser pulse creates linear defects, known as ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...
