Combinatorial synthesis of solid-state materials comprises the use of automation or
parallelization to systematically vary synthesis parameters. This approach to materials …

Rapid progress in material science and nanotechnology has led to the development of the
shape memory alloys (SMA) and the shape memory polymers (SMP) based functional …

We examined the variation in the solidification microstructure of AlSi10Mg alloy powder over
a wide range of cooling rates controlled by using the fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) …

One puzzling phenomenon in glass physics is the so-called 'shadow glass transition'which
is an anomalous heat-absorbing process below the real glass transition and influences …

Enantiomers alternately packed stereocomplex crystals (SC) compete with homochiral
enantiomer-packed homocrystals (HC) during the crystallization of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) …

Relaxation processes are crucial for understanding the structural rearrangements of liquids
and amorphous materials. However, the overarching principle that governs these processes …

The temperature of a physical system is operationally defined in physics as “that quantity
