When manufacturing techniques transform metals, ceramics or composites into technologically useful forms, understanding the mechanism of the phase transformation process is critical to shaping the behavior of these high-performance materials. However, seeing the transformation in real time is indeed difficult. A new study in the journal Nature, led by Professor Guangwen Zhou of the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Materials Science program at Binghamton University, uses a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to peer into the oxide. -to-metal transformation at the atomic level. Of particular interest are mismatch dislocations which are always present at the interface in multiphase materials and play a key role in determining structural and functional properties. Students Zhou, Xianhu Sun and Dongxiang Wu are the first co-authors of this paper (“Kinetics of dislocation-induced interfacial transformation”). Su

Abu Dhabi, UAE, July 26, 2022: A team of researchers from NYU Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) has developed a new type of three-dimensional Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probe they call 3DTIP. AFM technology enables scientists to observe, measure, and manipulate samples and micro and nanoscale entities with unprecedented precision. The new 3DTIP, manufactured using a one-step 3D printing process, can be used for a wider range of applications – as well as potential observations and discoveries – than the more limited standard silicon-based probes that are considered state-of-the-art. art in our time. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique for characterizing samples by scanning a physical probe across a surface, yielding an impressive resolution 1,000 times higher than what optical microscopy can achieve. AFM is a fundamental instrument in many disciplines including biomedical sciences, with applications ranging from characterizing living
