In the central nervous system, ageing results in a precipitous decline in adult neural stem/progenitor
cells and neurogenesis, with concomitant impairments in cognitive functions 1 . …

Seven equimolar, five-component, metal diborides were fabricated via high-energy ball milling
and spark plasma sintering. Six of them, including (Hf 0.2 Zr 0.2 Ta 0.2 Nb 0.2 Ti 0.2 )B 2 , …

High-entropy nanoparticles have become a rapidly growing area of research in recent years.

Grain boundaries exhibit phase-like behavior in which their structure, chemistry and properties
may change discontinuously at critical values of thermodynamic parameters such as …

Intrinsically ductile metals are prone to catastrophic failure when exposed to certain liquid
metals, but the atomic-level mechanism for this effect is not fully understood. We characterized …

We propose an efficient and unified framework, namely ThiNet, to simultaneously accelerate
