Let's think of a paper sheet. If we tried to stiffen it from its primary state, it couldn't support its own weight. However, if we bend it, the sheet achieves a new structural quality. The shells act ...

The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples include halo and cluster ...

Nanomaterials with core-shell architectures are prominent examples of strain-engineered materials. The lattice mismatch between the core and shell materials can cause strong interface strain, which ...
