For nearly a century, scientists have understood how crystalline materials—such as metals and semiconductors—bend without breaking. Their secret lies in tiny, line-like defects called dislocations, ...

A new study shows that moderate thermomechanical treatment nearly halves the creep rate of an ODS-FeCrAl nuclear cladding alloy at 650 degrees Celsius, while excessive deformation or overly high ...

Figure 1: A 3D view of a network of dislocations in silicon obtained by Hänschke and colleagues [1] by using a new combination of experimental techniques and numerical simulations. These dislocations ...
