bilkrasj på atomnivå

A glimpse of a dented material re-created at atomic level with the aid of mathematical modelling. The “strings” are formed when we crash, and these can decide the outcome of a collision. Each “string” is a cross-section of a layer of atoms in which the atoms have been displaced from their ideal positions. Illustration: Bulatov/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
