Bulk Ripplocations: New Deformation Micromechanism Discovered
Dislocation theory has been very well established and has been successful in understanding the deformation of metals, but it has never properly explained the ripples and kink bands that are formed when layered materials (e.g. graphite, ice, MAX phases) are … Continue reading

Brains or Brawn? Building the Great Pyramids of Egypt
Research by Dr.Michel Barsoum and students turn sheds new light about how the ancient pyramids of Giza were built. Traditional theories state that the Great Pyramids of Giza were built because of enormous amounts of manual labor to haul large … Continue reading

MXenes Powering Next Generation Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
Nanolaminated carbon/sulfur materials demonstrate good performance as cathode materials in lithium-sulfur rechargeable batteries. These nanolaminates were synthesized from the MAX phase titanium sulfur carbide by electrochemically etching the titanium atoms. The work was featured in an article by Clean Technica … Continue reading
