This week Dr Soraia Pimenta from Imperial College London spoke to Laurie Winkless about multiscale discontinuous composites.
tailored dendrites can be exploited to create hierarchical structures in metal alloys that boost both strength and ductility
Researchers have discovered that adding nanostructures to the micro-partices that make up electrodes could lead to better batteries.
A new theory of entropy called Zentropy can predict the change in volume of a material as a function of temperature at a multiscale level.
