1. A National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) research team has identified the mechanism by which microscopic fatigue cracks grow in metals, solving a half-century-old mystery. The team found ...
Recently, a research team led by Prof. NI Yong and Prof. HE Linghui from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) uncovered the propagation and toughening mechanism of tortuous crack ...
Stress-induced cracks often lead to catastrophic failure of materials. For membranes, stress loads concomitant with thermal and mechanical risks during separation will gradually produce cracks, which ...
A major breakthrough in battery science reveals why promising single-crystal lithium-ion batteries haven’t lived up to expectations. Researchers found that these batteries crack due to uneven internal ...
