Advanced experimental and numerical approaches are being developed to capture the
localization of plasticity at the nanometer scale as a function of the multiscale and …

Ultrafast radiographic imaging and tracking (U-RadIT) use state-of-the-art ionizing particle
and light sources to experimentally study sub-nanosecond transients or dynamic processes …

Dislocation motion, an important mechanism underlying crystal plasticity, is critical for the
hardening, processing and application of a wide range of structural and functional materials …

Earth's inner core is predominantly composed of solid iron (Fe) and displays intriguing
properties such as strong shear softening and an ultrahigh Poisson's ratio. Insofar, physical …

The motion of line defects (dislocations) has been studied for more than 60 years, but the
maximum speed at which they can move is unresolved. Recent models and atomistic …

The dynamics of lattice vibrations govern many material processes, such as acoustic wave
propagation, displacive phase transitions, and ballistic thermal transport. The maximum …
