Chauniyal, A.; Dehm, G.; Janisch, R.: On the role of pre-existing defects in influencing hardness in nanoscale indentations — Insights from atomistic simulations. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 154, 104511 (2021)
Max Planck team explains dendrite propagation, paving the way for safer and longer-lasting next-generation batteries. They publish their findings in the journal Nature.
International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
Defects at interfaces strongly impact the properties and performance of functional materials. In functional nanostructures, they become particularly important due to the large surface to volume ratio.
