Prediction of material performance in fusion reactor environments relies on computational
modelling, and will continue to do so until the first generation of fusion power plants come on …

Structure–property relationships are the foundation of materials science and are essential
for predicting material response to driving forces, managing in-service material degradation …

In-situ TEM observation and molecular dynamics simulation were used to investigate the
evolution of irradiation-induced dislocation loops and their interactions with the pre-existing …

High/medium entropy alloys (HEAs/MEAs) are good candidates for nuclear applications due
to the excellent mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance and radiation resistance …

The growth of advanced energy technologies for power generation is enabled by the design,
development, and integration of structural materials that can withstand extreme …

Using transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) we measure the thermal diffusivity of tungsten
exposed to different levels of 20 MeV self-ion irradiation. Damage as low as 3.2× 10− 4 …

Combining spatially resolved x-ray Laue diffraction with atomic-scale simulations, we
observe how ion-irradiated tungsten undergoes a series of nonlinear structural …

The “void lattice” formed by periodic arrangements of voids, usually replicating the symmetry
and crystallographic orientation of the host matrix, is an interesting phenomenon in materials …

Motion of point defects is a fundamental process that governs microstructure and properties
of materials. Here, we examine the near-surface and grain boundary cavity swelling depth …

Next-generation nuclear power plants are generally characterized by higher operating
temperatures, increased neutron fluences and energies, and distinct corrosive coolant …
