Feasibility of Lithium Storage on Graphene and Its Derivatives.
TL;DR: It is found that certain structural defects in graphene can bind Li stably, yet a more efficacious approach is through substitution doping with boron (B), and the layered C3B compound stands out as a promising Li storage medium.

A rationalisation of shear transformations in steels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided experimental evidence in support of the theory that Widmanstatten ferrite formation involves the co-operative growth of mutually-accommodating plates.

Formation of an amorphous metallic hydride by reaction of hydrogen with crystalline intermetallic compounds—A new method of synthesizing metallic glasses
TL;DR: The transition from the crystalline to the amorphous phase can be explained in terms of a "chemical frustration" effect as discussed by the authors, and the transition can be confirmed using X-ray diffraction patterns, density measurements, and superconducting properties.

TL;DR: The effect of temperature on the overall crystallization and the crystal nucleation and growth rates of indomethacin polymorphs from the amorphous state were determined in this article.
