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 ...

Biopreservation is a process by which the degradation of biologics is suppressed to enable the recovery of structure, viability, and function. Cryopreservation is the most common method for long-term ...

Open the freezer door and there, way in the back, may be an old carton of ice cream growing spikes of ice. Or a forgotten frozen lasagna covered in icy crystals. Or drying of meat surfaces if not well ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
