From power grids to epidemics: Study shows how small patterns trigger systemic failures

Why do some systems collapse suddenly after what seems like a minor disturbance? A single transmission line failure can ...

Simulations map how single-crystal battery materials could boost cycle life

The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...
