Mechanical Property Design of Bio-compatible Mg alloys using Machine-Learning Algorithms [PDF]
Magnesium alloys are attractive options for temporary bio-implants because of their biocompatibility, controlled corrosion rate, and similarity to natural bone in terms of stiffness and density. Nevertheless, their low mechanical strength hinders their use as cardiovascular stents and bone substitutes.

Strengthening magnesium by design: integrating alloying and dynamic processing [PDF]
Magnesium (Mg) has the lowest density of all structural metals and has excellent potential for wide use in structural applications. While pure Mg has inferior mechanical properties; the addition of further elements at various concentrations has produced alloys with enhanced mechanical performance and corrosion resistance.

MD simulations and experiments of plasma proteins adsorption to the biodegradable magnesium alloys to facilitate cell response [PDF]
Once the magnesium alloy was implanted in the body, it was immediately covered with plasma proteins. The coated alloy surface promoted the adsorption and growth of osteoblasts. Herein, in vitro biological reactions of the ZK60 and AZ31 magnesium alloys were analyzed with and without plasma proteins incubation.

Borderline Magnetism: How Does Adding Magnesium to Paramagnetic CeCo$_3$ Make a 450 K Ferromagnet with Large Magnetic Anisotropy? [PDF]
A recent experimental study (Phys. Rev. Appl. 9, 024023, 2018) on paramagnetic CeCo$_3$ finds that Magnesium alloying induces a ferromagnetic transition with intrinsic properties large enough for permanent magnet applications. Here we explain these surprising results \textit{via} a first principles study of the electronic structure and magnetism of ...
