Abstract Reliable, inexpensive, environment-friendly, and durable properties of carbon
materials with unique and outstanding photoelectric performance is highly desired for …

Diamond, as the hardest natural material on earth, usually breaks in a brittle manner, but
with the size reduced to the nanoscale regime, it can have surprisingly large elastic …

Most inorganic thermoelectric semiconductors are intrinsically brittle, restricting the
application of thermoelectric materials. Therefore, developing ductile thermoelectric …

To introduce D022 superlattice (noted as γ′′ phase) precipitation strengthening in
additive manufacturing, a design strategy of combining the overall valence electron …

Most refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) with Al possess excellent strength but low
elongation. Low ductility is generally induced by the formation of brittle phases after long …

Tailoring microstructure and microchemistry by altering elemental compositions and
thermomechanical treatment parameters enables superior corrosion performance in …

High-strain-induced microstructural refinement and dislocations are critical for the
strengthening of metallic materials; however, this is difficult to achieve in ceramic materials …

Over the past few decades, in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has emerged as
a powerful experimental technique for materials design and characterization. It offers …

The knowledge regarding anisotropic mechanical behaviors in nanoscale body-centered
cubic (bcc) metals remains obscure. Herein, we report the orientation-dependent ductility in …

In a fusion reactor, plasma-facing tungsten (W) materials inevitably suffer severe thermal
shock, and the performance of W materials under repetitive high heat loads is one of the key …
