Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of
heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (> 100%) mechanical or physical …

Metalloids and transition/refractory elements typically differ significantly in the electronic
structure and atomic size, allowing for stronger solid-solution hardening in high-entropy …

Metal additive manufacturing is a disruptive technology that is revolutionizing the
manufacturing industry. Despite its unrivaled capability for directly fabricating metal parts …

Similar to conventional materials, most multicomponent high-entropy alloys (HEAs) lose
ductility as they gain strength. In this study, we controllably introduced gradient nanoscaled …

Coarse-grained materials are widely accepted to display the highest strain hardening and
the best tensile ductility. We experimentally report an attractive strain hardening rate …

The past 20 years have witnessed ever-growing evidence that the mechanical properties of
biological tissues, from nanoscale to macroscale dimensions, are fundamental for cellular …

Artificial intelligence, especially machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms,
is becoming an important tool in the fields of materials and mechanical engineering …

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a class of smart materials with inherent shape memory and
superelastic characteristics. Unlike other SMAs, iron-based SMAs (Fe-SMA) offer cost …

Engineering metallic materials are an essential class of materials for a variety of industrial
applications due to their competitive mechanical properties, especially strength and ductility …

A strength-ductility trade-off usually occurs when grains are refined to increase strength. A
question arises on if there exists a grain size for the best strength-ductility combination, ie …
