The mechanical properties of materials depend strongly on crystal structure and defect configuration. Here we measure the strength of suspended single-crystal and bicrystal graphene membranes ...

"because the crystal grain boundaries would scatter the light." From a research viewpoint, especially when creating a new material, scientists want to remove as many variables as possible to best ...

These materials exhibit unique properties and behaviors that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts due to the high volume fraction of grain boundaries and interfaces at the nanoscale.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

The average grain size of a typical bulk metal is about 10 μm at the smallest. In this new technology, the average crystal grain size can be controlled in the nano scale. As a result, the ...

Tanaka, the developer of industrial precious metals, claims to have made the world’s first bulk platinum with controlled crystal grain size in the nano scale. The average grain size of a typical bulk ...
