Abstract “Invisible gold” refers to gold (Au) occurring either within the lattice of a host sulfide
or as discrete nanoparticles (NPs,< 100 nm diameter) within a host that are only observable …

Incipient room-temperature plastic deformation in single-crystal SrTiO 3 at the nanoscale
and the microscale is contrasted by applying a scale-dependent indentation technique …

Dislocations have been identified to modify both the functional and mechanical properties of
some ceramic materials. Succinct control of dislocation‐based plasticity in ceramics will also …

The main objective of this study is to prepare nanoparticles‐induced bio‐based
polyurethane foam to shield electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiation in the 8–12 GHz …

Interfaces between water and materials are ubiquitous and are crucial in materials sciences
and in biology, where investigating the interaction of water with the surface under ambient …

Ferroelectrics have become indispensable electroceramic materials in modern electronic
applications. While point-defect engineering is a common tool to modify the properties of …

High power solid-state Li batteries (SSLB) are hindered by the formation of dendrite-like
structures at high current rates. Hence, new design principles are needed to overcome this …

Magnetocaloric cooling offers the potential to improve the efficiency of refrigeration devices
and hence cut the significant CO 2 emissions associated with cooling processes. A critical …

High‐tech ceramics are typically engineered by controlling point defects and interfaces
while one‐dimensional dislocations have found much less attention so far. Nevertheless …

Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a major component of the Earth's mantle and is expected to play
a similar role in the mantles of large rocky exoplanets. At extreme pressures, MgO transitions …
