The structure of (nuclear) graphite: From the atomic to the macro scales

Residual Stresses in Thick Bi-metallic Fusion Welds: A Neutron Diffraction Study

Welding is applied in many industrial sectors to join components, and has become an important manufacturing process because it enables the fabrication of structures that could not otherwise be constructed. Weld regions have inhomogeneous microstructures and are more susceptible to crack initiation and crack propagation than the surrounding base...

Hydrogen Storage in Nanostructured Light Metal Hydrides

The global energy issues can be solved by the abundantly available hydrogen on earth. Light metals are a compact and safe medium for storing hydrogen. This makes them attractive for vehicular use. Unfortunately, hydrogen uptake and release is slow in light metals at practical temperature and pressure conditions. Catalysts are known to accelerate...
