Lattice structures, which are also known as architected cellular structures, have been
applied in various industrial sectors, owing to their fascinated performances, such as low …

Gradient structures found in biological materials have served as a source of inspiration for
scientists seeking to enhance the performance of metals and alloys over the past decades …

Heterostructured materials are an emerging class of materials with superior performances
that are unattainable by their conventional homogeneous counterparts. They consist of …

Nanostructured metals are usually strong because the ultrahigh density of internal
boundaries restricts the mean free path of dislocations. Usually, they are also more brittle …

Inspired by the gradient structures of biological materials, researchers have explored
compositional and structural gradients for about 40 years as an approach to enhance the …

Since the first discovery of the fatigue phenomenon in the late 1830s, efforts to fight against
fatigue failure have continued. Here we report a fatigue resistance phenomenon in nano …

The rapid progress of advanced manufacturing, multidisciplinary integration and artificial
intelligence has ushered in a new era of technological development in the design of …

Twin boundaries (TBs) are ubiquitous interfaces with specific structure in metallic materials.
They possess special interactions with dislocations and the fatigue cracking behaviors are …

In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

INTRODUCTION Gradient structures ubiquitously exist in natural materials such as bone,
shells, and trees. Microstructural gradients are increasingly being introduced into a wide …
