The yield strength and tensile plasticity of metallic materials are crucial for engineering applications. High strength can meet load-bearing requirements and significantly reduce material usage, thereby conserving energy and lowering emissions. High plasticity enhances the safety of materials during service, and its most important engineering significance lies in the ability for uniform deform...
Nature Materials published the research article “Amorphous phase-change memory alloy with no resistance drift” online on October 1, 2025.Phase change memory utilizes the resistance difference between the amorphous and crystalline phases of chalcogenides to achieve data storage. However, amorphous materials typically exhibit spontaneous structural relaxation. For phase-change materials (such a...

Aqueous supercapacitors have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional capacitive properties, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the narrow electrochemical stability window of water (1.23 V) limits the energy density of these devices, hindering their practical applications.To address this challenge, a research team led by Professor Lei Li has developed an inno...
As one of the most important high-specific-strength structural materials, duplex (α+β) Ti alloys exhibit a broad range of mechanical properties by tailoring their major constituent-HCP α phase. However, high-strength duplex Ti alloys often confront low work hardening rate (WHR, Θ) and thus the limited uniform elongation (εu), due to the following two factors. i) The HCP α-phase often lack...
Metallic glasses, also known as amorphous alloys, exhibit superior mechanical properties such as high strength and elasticity due to their disordered atomic arrangement. However, these properties also render them prone to the formation of localized shear bands at the nanoscale during plastic deformation. The initiation and propagation of these shear bands often trigger brittle fracture, which...
