Functional and mechanical properties of novel biomaterials must be carefully evaluated to
guarantee long-term biocompatibility and structural integrity of implantable medical devices …

Fail-safe design of devices requires robust integrity assessment procedures which are still
absent for 2D materials, hence affecting transfer to applications. Here, a combined on-chip …

The design of high performance structural materials is always pursuing combinations of
excellent yet often mutually exclusive properties such as mechanical strength, ductility and …

Conventional orthopaedic and dental device materials are made of metallic materials such
as stainless steel (SUS316L), titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), and cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr). Those …

Here we demonstrate an unconventional fabrication of highly transparent supercapacitors
and electrodes using random networks of nanostructured metallic glass nanotroughs for …

The application of traditional crystalline materials as structural materials cannot meet critical
design challenges due to low-temperature brittleness. To address this issue, this study …

A novel class of nanostructured Zr 50 Cu 50 (% at.) metallic glass films with superior and
tunable mechanical properties is produced by pulsed laser deposition. The process can be …

Metallic glasses (MGs) possess remarkably high strength but often display only minimal
tensile ductility due to the formation of catastrophic shear bands. Purposely enhancing the …

We present improvements to a recently developed pillar splitting technique that can be used
to characterize the fracture toughness of materials at the micrometer scale. Micro‐pillars with …

The deformation of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is generally driven by highly localized
shear. Due to such inhomogeneous flow, failure occurs in a catastrophic brittle manner …
