Structurally Complex Precipitates Enhance Strength‐Ductility Synergy in a Duplex Medium Entropy Alloy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.
Strong‐yet‐ductile precipitation‐hardening alloys require novel microstructural complexity of precipitates in particularly at cryogenic condition, to constantly impart strain hardening of hard‐and‐brittle precipitates. The present work creates innovative structurally complex precipitates assembled with dispersed nanocores and a chemical‐heterogeneity ...

Superior strain-hardening and strength-ductility synergy by hierarchical L12 phases in a highly (Al, Ti)-added medium-entropy alloy

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
A novel precipitate-strengthened Co–Cr–Ni medium-entropy alloy with a pure “FCC + L12” dual-phase structure is developed by adding a high concentration (6 at.%) of Al and Ti elements.

Hierarchical Twin Networks Enable Exceptional Strength and Fracture Toughness in Titanium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.
A commercial‐purity titanium with hierarchical ultrafine twin structures delivers an exceptional combination of fracture toughness (KJIc) of 187 MPa·m1/2 and specific yield strength of 140 MPa·cm3·g−1, in which pre‐engineered high‐density twin boundaries stimulate massive and dislocations to blunt crack tip.

The Mechanobiology of Adipocyte Hypertrophy: Cytoskeletal Remodelling as a Driver of Insulin Resistance in Obesity

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Adipocyte hypertrophy poses an important mechanical challenge—adipocytes can increase in volume up to a thousand‐fold while still maintaining their structural integrity. Although lipid metabolism is well studied, little is known about the cytoskeletal adaptations that are required to accommodate this expansion and the resulting pathological ...

Main Group Metals in Redox Catalysis

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 22, 1 August 2026.
Main group metal redox catalysis is emerging as a credible alternative to transition metal chemistry. Elements from groups 13 to 15 now enable diverse catalytic manifolds, driven by ligand design and control of electronic structure. This review highlights recent advances, key design principles, and remaining challenges, positioning main group metals as

Synergy Effects of Dual‐Gel‐Assisted Structural Engineering and Bimetallic Doping Regulation Realize Ultrastable High‐Rate Performance of NASICON Cathodes for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Na‐superionic‐conductor‐type (NASICON) Na4MnV(PO4)3 (NMVP) is an appealing cathode for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), but its application is hindered by Jahn–Teller distortions, sluggish Na+ kinetics and poor conductivity, leading to rapid capacity fade.

Toughening of TiO2 via Femtosecond Laser Shock Peening

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Most ceramics have low fracture toughness (<5 MPa m$\sqrt{m}$) at room temperature. This work explores the feasibility of toughening TiO2 via femtosecond laser shock peening (fs‐LSP). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses reveal LSP‐induced the creation of high‐density stacking faults, dislocation structures, and twin boundaries in ...
