The rapid progress of advanced manufacturing, multidisciplinary integration and artificial
intelligence has ushered in a new era of technological development in the design of …

Metallic materials are usually composed of single phase or multiple phases, which refers to
homogeneous regions with distinct types of the atom arrangement. The recent studies on …

The oxygen redox reaction in lithium-rich layered oxide battery cathode materials generates
extra capacity at high cell voltages (ie,> 4.5 V). However, the irreversible oxygen release …

In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

Nanograined metals have the merit of high strength, but usually suffer from low work
hardening capacity and poor thermal stability, causing premature failure and limiting their …

Dense networks of deformation twins endow metals and alloys with unprecedented
mechanical properties. However, the formation mechanism of these hierarchical twin …

Fatigue in metals involves gradual failure through incremental propagation of cracks under
repetitive mechanical load. In structural applications, fatigue accounts for up to 90% of in …

The development of high-strength metals has driven the endeavor of pushing the limit of
grain size (d) reduction according to the Hall-Petch law. But the continuous grain refinement …

The strength of nanocrystalline and nanotwinned metals stops increasing or even starts
decreasing when their grain size or twin thickness is below a critical size—a phenomenon …

Simple Summary The antimicrobial properties of Ag and Cu nanoparticles, their mixtures
and their alloys, are reviewed. Abstract Microbes, including bacteria and fungi, easily form …
