LANL Roadrunner Simulates Nanoscale Material Failure (redOrbit)
First-ever simulation of a stretching silver nanowire over a period of a millisecondVery tiny wires, called nanowires, made from such metals as silver and gold, may play a crucial role as electrical or mechanical switches in the development of future-generation ultrasmall nanodevices.Making nanodevices work will require a deep understanding of how these and other... »
