TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the tremendous efforts over the past 50 years devoted to unraveling the atomic-level structure of MGs and the structural origin of their unique behaviors.

TL;DR: A comprehensive and up-to-date review on the rapid progress achieved very recently on this subject can be found in this article, where key materials-science issues of general interest, including the initiation of shear localization starting from shear transformations, the temperature and velocity reached in the propagating or sliding band, the structural evolution inside the shear-band material, and the parameters that strongly influence shearbanding are discussed.

TL;DR: A brief overview of the recent progress made in improving mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials, and in quantitatively and mechanistically understanding the underlying mechanisms is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate three strategies to achieve relatively large stable tensile deformation in nanostructured metals, using the pure Cu processed by equal channel angular pressing as a model.

TL;DR: A nanostructuring strategy is reported that achieves Mo alloys with yield strength over 800 MPa and tensile elongation as large as ~40% at room temperature and a general pathway for manufacturing dispersion-strengthened materials with both high strength and ductility.
