Electron tomography (ET) has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool in addressing challenging problems, such as understanding 3D interactions among various microstructures. Advancing ET to broader applications requires novel instrumentation design to break the bottlenecks both in theory and in practice. In this work, we built a compact four-degree...

In the present review, we have selected advances in electrospinning nanofibers that we envision to be embedded in textiles and wearables. These nanofibers have been proven to be excellent options for applications such as power generation, sensing, and communication. Their similitude with already known woven meshes makes these fibers perfect for ele...

Two different chemical methods, TEMPO-oxidation and nitro-oxidation, were used to extract carboxylcellulose nanofibers (CNFs) from non-wood biomass sources (i.e., jute, soft and hard spinifex grasses). The combined TEMPO-oxidation and homogenization approach was very efficient to produce CNFs from the cellulose component of biomass; however, the ni...

Local crystallographic orientation characteristics of grains with different sizes in a ZrTiAlV alloy after interrupted cooling from β phase region are investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. A statistical analysis of EBSD data shows that bigger parent β grains present weaker variant selection than smaller grains. The rele...
