The dynamic restructuring of metal nanoparticle surfaces is known to greatly influence their
catalytic, electronic transport, and chemical binding functionalities. Here we show for the first …

The attainment of both high strength and ductility has been a long-standing quest for most
metallic materials in engineering. However, these properties were generally mutually …

During crystal growth, faceted interfaces may be perturbed by defects, leading to a rich
variety of polycrystalline growth forms. One such defect is the coherent Σ3 {111} twin …

Throughout history, objects with fivefold symmetry have been a popular topic of interest for
artists, philosophers, and scientists. This may be because fivefold symmetry is very …
