Simulated equiaxed crystalline microstructure transformed to liquid state (blue) during the melting process. The columnar grains grow in the normal direction along the fusion line, and a strong ...

Dislocations are one-dimensional defects that occur in real crystalline solids and control their plastic deformation. The presence of dislocations permits atomic planes to slip "one atomic row at a ...

Perovskite solar cells are highly efficient and low cost in production. However, they still lack stability over the decades ...

Scientists from the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University have developed a novel approach that could revolutionize ceramic fabrication. This advancement has the ...
