Magnesium is a light metal, with a density two-thirds that of aluminium, is abundant on Earth
and is biocompatible; it thus has the potential to improve energy efficiency and system …

While laser-printed metals do not tend to match the mechanical properties and thermal
stability of conventionally-processed metals, incorporating and dispersing nanoparticles in …

Processing science for nanocrystalline metals has largely focused on far-from-equilibrium
methods that can generate many grain boundaries with excess defect energy. Conversely …

Additive manufacturing of objects with complex geometries from refractory metals remains
very challenging. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of tungsten sheet-gyroids via 3D ink …

Alloying immiscible elements has great scientific and engineering significance for materials
discovery and property tailoring. However, achieving alloying in bulk state remains …

Annealing is one of the most efficient heat treatment to refine the grain microstructure in
metal alloys. Prior to the annealing, an aging treatment can be implemented to precipitate …

Refining grain size and adding alloying elements are two complementary approaches for
enhancing the radiation tolerance of existing nuclear materials. Here, we present detailed in …

Accelerated sintering through nanoscale-phase separation is explored in the Cr-Ni binary
system. When the processing requirements of both supersaturation and nanocrystallinity are …

Metal oxide nanoparticle-reinforced polymers have received considerable attention due to
their favorable mechanical properties compared to neat materials. However, the effect of …

Laser shock loading is a more promising technology for investigating spallation damage in
materials under shock-wave loading. In this paper, shock-induced spallation in a 90W–Ni …
