Members of MM division and MPIE reveal the origin

Atomistic computer simulations reproduce the jerky dislocation motion with repeated pinning in random samples without short-range order.The underlying mechanism is directly linked to local fluctuations in Peierls (force/friction) barriers, which lead to dislocation pinning points. The quantification of atomic frictional forces provides predictive design guidelines to tailor dislocation pinning in HEAs.

International research team publishes universal framework in the journal Science

Novel materials are the key for our transition to a more sustainable economy.

Researchers use multicomponent alloys to make strong and ductile soft magnetic materials. Latest results now published in the journal Nature

Soft magnetic materials (SMMs) applied in electric engines transform energy from sustainable resources into electricity. Conventional SMMs, which are currently used in industry, are prone to damage under severe mechanical loads.

Sept. 19th – 22nd

The energy transition is a materials and resource transition. In times of increasing pressure on industry and politics with respect to environmental protection and climate change, material sciences have to provide answers to the most challenging technological tasks.

September 5t-9th, Catania (Italy)

After 5 editions in Erice (Italy), 3 in USA and the stop due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the next ISMES School will take place at the prestigious “Scuola Superiore” of the University of Catania. The school will review critical materials issues for the production and storage of renewable and sustainable energy. The aim of the School is to present the state-of-the-art and future perspectives in this critical area. It will be a great opportunity to bring together the international community of students, young scientists, and experts in a unique atmosphere for reciprocal benefits in terms of enthusiasm, knowledge and new ideas. A max number of 60 students will be allowed. The deadline for the registration is July 31st 2022
