Van der Waals (vdW) materials exhibit exceptional mechanical flexibility and electronic properties, making them promising candidates for next-generation flexible electronics. Notably, their atomic ...

Strain engineering usually refers to a kind of material processing technology, which aims to regulate the properties of materials or optimize related devices' performance by inherent or external ...

Strain can be introduced to materials through various methods, including mechanical stretching, bending, compressing, or by epitaxial growth on substrates with different lattice constants. Advanced ...

Researchers have discovered a new two-dimensional material with unprecedented properties: regardless if it is strained or compressed, it always expands. This so-called half-auxetic behavior is ...

Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapidly growing domain where metallic powder is often used as a precursor for creating of components with complex shapes. Mechanical properties of the new components ...
