Ice recrystallization is of great importance to both fundamental research and practical applications, however understanding and controlling ice recrystallization processes remains challenging. Here, ...

Within the framework of carbon neutrality, the use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is rising along with the growth of the green and clean energy sector. However, the extensive application of LIBs with ...

Tong (Toni) Wang receives funding from National Institute of Food and Agriculture of United States Department of Agriculture, National Dairy Council, and National Science Foundation. Open the freezer ...

The process of cold working involves the strengthening of steel material by physically manipulating the material below the recrystallization temperature. The recrystallization temperature is defined ...

(a) Diagrams illustrating how columnar grains develop during the LPBF, contributing to microstructural anisotropy; (b) Stress-strain curves showing significant improvements in the mechanical ...

When materials are altered in shape by plastic deformation their grain shape tends to change. This is illustrated below for a wire being "drawn" into a dimension suitable for a bicycle spoke. While ...
