Recently, a research group developed a giant magneto-superelasticity of 5% in a Ni34Co8Cu8Mn36Ga14 single crystal. This was achieved by introducing arrays of ordered dislocations to form preferentially oriented martensitic ...

We might imagine crystals to be perfect structures, but they are, in fact, often plagued with "defects." Curiously enough, such defects often appear due to atoms undergoing reorganization to lower the energy of the system ...

Pearlitic steel, or pearlite, is one of the strongest materials in the world, and can be made into long, thin wires. The strength of pearlite allows it to support very heavy weight, and it has the unique ability to stretch ...

Mechanical structures are only as sound as the materials from which they are made. For decades researchers have studied materials from these structures to see why and how they fail. Before catastrophic failure, there are ...
