Balancing the seesaw: Simultaneously enhancing strength and elongation in metallic materials
Analysis of spinodal decomposition and strengthening using nano-atomic-scale analysis. Credit: POSTECH Just as one side of a seesaw rises while the other falls, in the realm of metallic materials, “strength” and “elongation” typically conflict with each other. However, a collaborative team from POSTECH and Northwestern University has recently introduced a groundbreaking technology that enhances both
