Towards strength–ductility synergy through the design of heterogeneous nanostructures in metals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent advances in overcoming this tradeoff, by purposely deploying heterogeneous nanostructures in an otherwise single-phase metal, and advocate this broad vision to help guide future innovations towards a synergy between high strength and high ductility.
