New Preprint: Unlocking Nanoscale Detail in Aluminium Alloys with DPC Segmentation

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

We are pleased to share our latest preprint, now available on arXiv: Unlocking nanoscale microstructural detail in aluminium alloys through differential phase contrast segmentation in STEM (arXiv:2603.11643). In this work, we show how differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in scanning transmission electron microscopy can be turned into a powerful, quantitative tool for characterising the microstructures … Continue reading New Preprint: Unlocking Nanoscale Detail in Aluminium Alloys with DPC Segmentation

Atom-by-atom materials shaping future technology

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

What will the materials powering tomorrow's clean energy systems, quantum computers, and deep-space missions actually be made of — and how do we design them? We are thrilled to share our latest featured article in The European magazine, where we explore how cutting-edge research is engineering matter at the atomic scale. From the nanolaminated MAX … Continue reading Atom-by-atom materials shaping future technology

Pushing the Limits of Aluminium Crossover Alloys

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Dr. mont. Patrick Willenshofer’s recent publication, “Influence of alloy chemistry and overaging on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in aluminium crossover alloys”, is a remarkable contribution to the rapidly evolving field of advanced aluminium alloy development. This paper investigates the nuanced interplay between alloying elements and thermal history in novel AlMgZn-based crossover alloys enriched with copper … Continue reading Pushing the Limits of Aluminium Crossover Alloys
