Proposed hierarchical deformation mechanism paradigm for the equiatomic CrCoNi-based HEAs subjected to increasing degrees of deformation. Elastic deformation, dislocation-mediated plasticity, twinning-induced plasticity, TRIP, and finally solid-state amorphization. Triggering the next...

Conceptual schematics and SEM images of 3D ZnO hollow nanostructure deposited at 90, 165, 250, and 300℃ after removal of the epoxy template. Credit: KAIST. With the importance of non-contact environments...

Diamond is the hardest material in nature. But out of many expectations, it also has great potential as an excellent electronic material. A joint research team led by City University...

Thermoelectric materials will allow the efficient conversion of waste industrial heat into electricity. But to create effective thermoelectric materials, their underlying physics must be well understood. Credit: Macrovector on Freepik....

This schematic representation shows the new structure: nickel oxide stripes run perpendicular to the actual material, serving as a passing lane for the electrons. Credit: Lutz Mühlenbein. A new method...

Filaments made of polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles are obtained by exposing the material to a magnetic field under controlled temperature. The applications are myriad and include transporting substances into cells...

Researchers around the world are searching for new synthetic materials with special properties like superconductivity—that is, the conduction of electric current without resistance. These new substances are an important step...

Even with a large proportion of the working population still working from home and the use of staggered work times, it’s still a challenge to social distance on trains, trams...
