Subnanometer pores/channels (SNPCs) play crucial roles in regulating electrochemical
redox reactions for rechargeable batteries. The delicately designed and tailored porous …

Applying concepts and methods of bionics to endow autonomous robots with elegant and
agile mobility just like natural living beings is gradually becoming a hot research topic in …

The development of high-performance ultraelastic metals with superb strength, a large
elastic strain limit and temperature-insensitive elastic modulus (Elinvar effect) are important …

Ferroelectrics are usually inflexible oxides that undergo brittle deformation. We synthesized
freestanding single-crystalline ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) membranes with a …

In this work, NiTi samples with different thicknesses (0.15–1.00 mm) were fabricated by laser
powder bed fusion (LPBF) under variable scanning speeds (500–1200 mm s–1). The …

Many established, but also potential future applications of NiTi-based shape memory alloys
(SMA) in biomedical devices and solid-state refrigeration require long fatigue life with 107 …

Recently, in order to improve the energy conversion efficiency of direct polyol fuel cells, the
engineering of effective Pd‐and/or Pt‐based electrocatalysts to rupture C C bonds has …

Cuboidal micropillars of nanocrystalline superelastic NiTi shape memory alloys with an
average grain size of 65 nm were fabricated by focused ion beam and then subjected to …

Tailoring vacancies is a feasible way to improve the mechanical properties of ceramics.
However, high concentrations of vacancies usually compromise the strength (or hardness) …

Until now, materials with high elasticity at deep cryogenic temperatures have not been
observed. Previous reports indicated that graphene and carbon nanotube–based porous …
