Metals are made of randomly oriented crystals at the microscopic-length scale. The alignment of the crystal faces creates an infinite number of configurations and complex patterns, making simulations ...

Many consider lithium metal to be the most crucial material for negative electrodes in lithium-based batteries. This is because it has an extremely high capacity to store energy—3,860 mAh g −1 —which ...

A recent review published in Materials evaluates a range of metallographic approaches used to identify quasicrystals in aluminum (Al) alloys. These complex structures, which defy traditional ...
