Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Investigating the influence of animal-assisted services and service dogs on moral injury in military veterans: A scoping review

Human-Animal Interactions
Background: Moral injury (MI) is increasingly recognized as a distinct consequence of military-related trauma involving moral, emotional, and social disruptions that differ from the fear-based symptoms characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder ...

A Novel Approach to Estimate the Transition Temperature via Dynamic Nanoindentation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A new dynamic nanoindentation‐based method was developed that uses the stiffness ratio as an indicator of the elastic–plastic deformation contributions at different temperatures. The approach successfully identified transition temperatures in ferritic steel and distinguished them from continuously ductile austenitic steel.

Mitigating Creep Anisotropy and Enhancing Performance in Additively Manufactured Ni‐Based Superalloys: A Review

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing introduces pronounced microstructural and crystallographic anisotropy in Ni‐based superalloys, resulting in orientation‐dependent creep deformation and damage. This review identifies the key microstructural origins of creep anisotropy, examines their influence on dominant deformation mechanisms, and highlights processing ...

Better together: An attachment perspective on mutual well-being in animal-assisted interventions (AAIs)

Human-Animal Interactions
Background: Animal-assisted interventions (AAIs) are increasingly utilized to support the physical and social-emotional well-being of children with developmental disabilities (DD). Few studies have considered the impact of these interventions on the well-
