Dislocation density characterisation underpins our understanding of plastic deformation in metals and the design of stronger, more durable alloys. Dislocations—line defects within the crystal ...
Researchers recently discovered a helicoidal-shaped defect in layered polymers, uncovering how solvents can diffuse through layers and produce color changes. Dr. Edwin L. Thomas, professor in the ...
Understanding how dislocations (line defects in the crystal structure) occur when 3D-printing metals has been unclear to materials scientists. Understanding when and how dislocations form in ...
Body-centred cubic (bcc) metals exhibit a distinct plastic response arising from the motion and interaction of dislocations, line defects whose behaviour departs markedly from that in close-packed ...
Dr. Edwin L. Thomas, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and a team of researchers from Texas A&M University and Yonsei University recently discovered a helicoidal-shaped ...
