Viscoelastic flow instabilities limit polymer processing rates. High-speed optical measurements of stress and flow are used to provide insight into the relationships between polymer orientation and flow field that lead to viscoelastic fluctuations and
The Joint Automated Repository for Various Integrated Simulations (JARVIS) is a unified platform for multiscale, multimodal, forward, and inverse materials design. It integrates diverse theoretical and experimental approaches, including density functional

Background: Transvenous lead conductors are subject to fatigue fracture from repetitive bending stresses, which are proportional to alternating curvature. Knowledge of the stresses on implanted leads (fatigue environment) is a prerequisite for developing a
Determining complete atomic structures directly from microscopy images remains a longstanding challenge in materials science. MicroscopyGPT is a vision-language model (VLM) that leverages multimodal generative pre-trained transformers to predict full

The residual stresses from controlled powder recovery blasting on electron beam powder bed fusion (PBF-EB) Ti-6Al-4V were investigated via hole drilling, profilometry, and microscopy. After hot isostatic pressing, the near-surface lamellar the near-surface
Complex chalcogenides in the MPS3 family of materials (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) display remarkably different phase progressions depending upon the metal center orbital filling, character of the P–P linkage, and size of the van der Waals gap. There is also a

In this work neutron and X-ray scattering are used to quantitatively characterize multi-scale phase separation in a model blend of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) or poly(D,L-lactide), both synthetic biodegradable polymers, and palmitic acid. We find that
Concrete is the second most used substance in the world after water. Concrete manufacturers produce 14 billion cubic meters annually, with a market size of $440 billion. The concrete industry is developing new technologies to decrease its carbon footprint
Of the austenitic stainless steels, Type 304 has become ubiquitous throughout industry. While our inclinations as a metallurgical community may be to assume that Type 304 and its variants (L, H, N, HN, LN, LHN) have been exhaustively investigated, the
The interplay of interactions between aqueous ions and the confinement of subnanoscale pores in solid 2D membranes causes a range of barrier-limited phenomena, including selective ion trapping and permeation, mechanosensitive transport, and memristive
