For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without ...

Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to unveil a novel approach to comprehend small defects known as dislocations in polycrystalline materials.

Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century’s worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why. But, according to new findings from Drexel University ...

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel. Not only is the metal exceptionally strong and ...
