Cryogenic electron microscopy and data processing enable the determination of structures
of isolated macromolecules to near-atomic resolution. However, these data do not provide …

On the one hand, Irradiation is everywhere and irradiation effect, especially the material
irradiation damage effect under strong irradiation field, is one of the key factors for the …

Structural biology studies inside cells and tissues require methods to thin vitrified specimens
to electron transparency. Until now, focused ion beams based on gallium have been used …

Abstract Interstitials, eg, C, N, and O, are attractive alloying elements as small atoms on
interstitial sites create strong lattice distortions and hence substantially strengthen metals …

Deformation twinning is an essential plastic deformation mechanism that realizes the trade–
off between strength and ductility. Twins nucleate and grow by the coordinated slip of partial …

We performed H+ and He+ irradiation experiments on slabs of the Murchison CM2 meteorite
to simulate solar wind irradiation of carbonaceous asteroids. Two separate 6 mm× 6 mm …

There is an ever-increasing need for material systems to operate in the most extreme
environments encountered in space exploration, energy production, and propulsion …

A microcasting process is used to produce high aspect ratio (> 30) monocrystalline pure
aluminium wires with a diameter between 14 and 115 µm. The role of thermal activation in …

Plasma focused ion beam microscopy (PFIB) is a recent nanofabrication technique that is
suitable for site-specific atom probe sample preparation. Higher milling rates and fewer …

We compare the uniaxial tensile behavior of µm-scale cast silver tensile specimens at strain
rates of 10− 3 s− 1 and 2 s− 1 to find no major impact of the strain rate on either of the flow …
