A machine learning framework called AtomDiT converts a single atomic-resolution electron micrograph into a digital twin that ...

Niobium-titanium-based body-centred cubic alloys retain high strength and fracture toughness at 20 kelvin because temperature ...

The activation entropy of dislocation glide, a key process controlling the strength of many metals, is often assumed to be constant or linked to enthalpy through the empirical Meyer-Neldel law-both of ...

Dislocation dynamics form the cornerstone of our understanding of plastic deformation in crystalline metals and alloys. These line defects traverse crystallographic planes under applied stress, giving ...

For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without breaking. Their secret lies in tiny, line-like defects called dislocations, ...

A pair of experimental alloys has stayed tough at 20 kelvin, or minus 423 ...

MIT researchers found that metals retain hidden atomic patterns once believed to vanish during manufacturing. These patterns arise from microscopic dislocations that guide atoms into preferred ...

Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear defects can propagate through a material faster than sound waves do. These linear defects, or dislocations, are what ...

Scientists have discovered a class of metal that can unexpectedly resist extreme cold using an unusual mechanism. Normally ...

Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century’s worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why. But, according to new findings from Drexel University ...
