Microstructure evolution in metallic alloys encompasses the processes by which grain structures, dislocation networks and phase distributions change under mechanical and thermal stimuli. During ...

Biopreservation is a process by which the degradation of biologics is suppressed to enable the recovery of structure, viability, and function. Cryopreservation is the most common method for long-term ...

(a) Diagrams illustrating how columnar grains develop during the LPBF, contributing to microstructural anisotropy; (b) Stress-strain curves showing significant improvements in the mechanical ...

Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have shown great potential in display and lighting applications. In particular, the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as the electron ...

Open the freezer door and there, way in the back, may be an old carton of ice cream growing spikes of ice. Or a forgotten frozen lasagna covered in icy crystals. Or drying of meat surfaces if not well ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...

When materials are altered in shape by plastic deformation their grain shape tends to change. This is illustrated below for a wire being "drawn" into a dimension suitable for a bicycle spoke. While ...
