Phase transformations—in which a material changes from one crystal structure to another, thereby acquiring dramatically ...

Titanium is an important structural metal. Titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace and biomedical applications, thanks to their light weight, remarkable specific strength, superb corrosion ...

Scientists have used pressure with a twisting shear to permanently deform silicon, an important material for electronics. The resulting changes in silicon's microstructure produce material phases that ...

Steel alloys undergo a complex journey from molten metal to finished component, with solidification and subsequent phase transformations dictating microstructure, mechanical performance and defect ...

Researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Tongji University have developed FerroAI, a deep learning model that can produce phase diagrams for ferroelectric ...

The toughness, ductility, and wear resistance of metallic alloys are dictated by the phases present in their microstructure and how these phases are distributed. During heat treatments such as ...

AMES, Iowa – When Valery Levitas left Europe in 1999, he packed up a rotational diamond anvil cell and brought it to the United States. He and the researchers in his group are still using a ...
