Advancements in TLP Bonding for Power Electronics Die‐Attach Applications
Transient Liquid Phase (TLP) bonding is gaining traction as a lead‐free die‐attach technology in power electronics packaging. This review examines the state of TLP bonding, its key elements, reliability aspects, and practical limitations. This review also highlights emerging trends, such as nanostructured interfaces, that may improve scalability of TLP

Dual‐Array Nano Configuration for High‐Performance Metastable β Titanium Alloys
This work resolves a fundamental paradox in metastable alloys by establishing a novel dislocation‐phase coupling mechanism, enabling dynamic microstructure control for simultaneous thermal stability and deformability. Geometrically ordered α‐nanograins achieve unprecedented 500°C strength‐ductility synergy (863 MPa UTS, 78.3% elongation).

A computationally designed, cobalt‐free maraging steel tailored for additive manufacturing achieves an ultra‐high tensile strength of 2.3 GPa with 5.7% elongation. This exceptional strength‐ductility synergy stems from high‐density core‐shell Ni3Ti/NiAl nanoprecipitates, a crack‐resistant composition, and a fine equiaxed grain structure enabled by ...

Initiation and stagnation of room temperature grain coarsening in cyclically strained gold films
Despite the large number of experiments demonstrating that grains in a metallic material can grow at room temperature due to applied mechanical load, the mechanisms and the driving forces responsible for mechanically induced grain coarsening are still ...

Single‐Crystalline Borate Covalent Organic Frameworks for Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries
Advancing lithium metal batteries demands novel solid‐state electrolytes. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offer high ion conduction via porosity and functional groups. We synthesized single‐crystalline 3D borate COF with 8.1 mS cm−1 conductivity and 0.98 Li+ transference.

Transforming Grain‐Boundary Brittle Precipitates to Ductility Pathways in Complex Concentrated Alloy
By engineering graded BCC/L12 interfaces, brittle precipitates in a complex concentrated alloy enable sequential deformation, realizing gigapascal strength with >20% elongation to solve the strength‐ductility trade‐off. ABSTRACT Conventional wisdom holds that hard grain‐boundary (GB) precipitates embrittle structural alloys by acting as crack ...
