The cryopreservation of biomaterials is fundamental to modern biotechnology and
biomedicine, but the biggest challenge is the formation of ice, resulting in fatal cryoinjury to …

The classical theory of solid‐state transformation based on nucleation and growth
processes, developed by Kolmogorov, Johnson and Mehl, and Avrami (KJMA theory), is …

Abstract Co 61 Ta 6 B 33, Co 59 Ta 8 B 33, Co 57 Ta 10 B 33 and Co 53 Ta 10 B 37 bulk
metallic glasses (BMGs) exhibit a good combination of the ultra-high fracture strength in the …

Understanding the crystallization mechanism of amorphous metal-oxide thin films remains of
importance to avoid the deterioration of multifunctional flexible electronics. We derived the …

Zircon is used as an additive to silica ceramics for use in investment casting to improve their
high temperature properties. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which this …
