This collaborative research project, NANOMESO, aims to understand and predict unique plasticity phenomena at nano and submicron scales. The project offers a unique educational experience to US PhD students, combining the expertise of 7 Principal Investigators from the US, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Highlighting techniques such as Molecular Dynamics and Dislocation Dynamics, the project explores novel testing methods and the quantized plasticity of materials like single crystal gold pillars. Results include the percolation of plastic slip in nanocrystalline Nickel and advancements in Quantized Crystal Plasticity. Learn more at the NANOMESO website.
