The γ-surfaces of O3-type compounds show a characteristic three-fold symmetry associated with the O3↔P3 transformation. In contrast, the monoclinic O’3 analogs display a single low-energy transition ...

Dislocations are usually expected to degrade electrical, thermal and optical functionality and to tune mechanical properties of materials. Here, we demonstrate a general framework for the control of ...

Every material can bend and break. Through nearly a century's worth of research, scientists have had a pretty good understanding of how and why. But, according to new findings from Drexel University ...

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, ...
