The Thomas Young Centre (TYC) is an interdisciplinary community of London research groups working to address challenges of society and industry through materials modelling and the theory and simulation of materials.

Complexity of grain boundaries in ceramics: electrons reveal it all

Reporting in Nature this week, a team of researchers, including Professor Alex Shluger of the Thomas Young Centre, describe how they have been able to unravel the structure of grain boundary defects in ceramics with both atomic resolution and chemical sensitivity by combining advanced electron microscopy techniques with theoretical simulations.
