TL;DR: The potential of additive manufacturing to create alloys with unique microstructures and high performance for structural applications is demonstrated, with austenitic 316L stainless steels additively manufactured via a laser powder-bed-fusion technique exhibiting a combination of yield strength and tensile ductility that surpasses that of conventional 316L steels.

TL;DR: H hierarchical metamaterials with disparate three-dimensional features spanning seven orders of magnitude, from nanometres to centimetres are demonstrated, enabled by a high-resolution, large-area additive manufacturing technique with scalability not achievable by two-photon polymerization or traditional stereolithography.

TL;DR: High-frequency dynamic micropillar tests have been used to probe both atomic clusters and flow defects in metallic glasses, showing that loosely bonded atomistic free-volume zones that are enveloped elastically by tightly bonded atomic clusters show a deformation character similar to supercooled liquids.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of properties and applications of thin-film metallic glasses (TFMGs) is presented, including solid-state amorphization upon annealing, the glass-forming ability improvement due to thin film deposition, and mechanical properties, including residual stress, hardness and microcompression, adhesion, and wear resistance.

TL;DR: This paper developed a light-based 3D printing process to create hierarchical graphene structures with arbitrary complexity and order-of-magnitude finer features, showing enhanced mechanical properties at decreasing density.
