(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 ...
Semi-brittle deformation in geologic systems is generally defined micromechanically 5,6,7, wherein fracturing and/or frictional sliding characterizes the deformation of one mineral phase while another ...
The discovery of quasicrystals three decades ago unveiled a class of matter that exhibits long-range order but lacks translational periodicity. Owing to their unique structures, quasicrystals possess ...
Glass doesn’t have to be brittle. Glass doesn’t have to be brittle, as new research explains. The key is temperature. In a paper published online Feb. 26 in the journal Nature Communications, a Yale ...
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 ...
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, ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

Abstract In the North China block, the south Liaodong Peninsula massif is an elliptical metamorphic core complex (MCC) with a long axis trending NE‐SW. In cross‐section view, it is asymmetric, with a ...
A new study published in Engineering delves into the material removal mechanisms in ultra-high-speed machining (UHSM), a key technology in advanced manufacturing. High-performance engineering ...
A new technique from Purdue University is designed to improve missiles, engines and drinking glasses made from ceramic materials. (Stock photo) Something as simple as an electric field could soon make ...
