(Nanowerk Spotlight) Why does silicon, which usually shatters catastrophically like glass when fractured, suddenly change and show ductile fracture like metals when the temperature is increased? As ...
Structural coloration stemming from microstructure-induced light interference has been recognized as a promising surface colorizing technology, based on its potential in a wide array of applications, ...

Plastic fantastic? Quasicrystal deformations and bending observed. When shrunk to the nanoscale, quasicrystals become plastic. That is the finding of an international team of researchers, which says ...
Physicists have found that to shed light on the cracking of MoS2, we must go beyond the theory used so far. Cracks sank the 'unsinkable' Titanic; decrease the performance of touchscreens and erode ...
Professor K R W Wallin is a recognised expert in the field of fracture mechanics. Indeed his work has provided a major input to the currently accepted ASTM Standard on the Master Curve Method , E1921.
Developing a lightweight material that is both strong and highly ductile has been regarded as a long-desired goal in the field of structural materials, but these properties are generally mutually ...
