Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a cryogenic shock exfoliation method that produces giant, ultraclean ...

Stacking fault defects are thought to be the root cause for many of the anomalous transport phenomena seen in high-quality graphite samples. In stark contrast to their importance, direct observation ...

Molecular dynamics simulations show that polycrystalline CuCrCoFeNi high-entropy alloy coatings absorb most scratch-induced ...

Aluminum is nice and light, but as an easily crushable soft drink can shows, that comes at the cost of strength. By introducing faults into the metal's crystalline structure, researchers at Purdue ...
