A materials scientist’s dream come true
Plasticity at the fingertips: Scientists at FAU directly control dislocations In the 1940s, scientists first explained how materials can deform plastically by atomic-scale line defects called dislocations. These defects can be understood as tiny carpet folds that can move one part of a material relative to the other without spending a lot of energy. Many […]
