Scientists at UConn and North Carolina State University have found that reducing oxygen content in some nanocrystalline materials may improve their grain size stability at elevated temperatures. This graphic shows the pattern of stability for Iron-Chromium-Hafnium nanograins with oxygen (represented by red triangles) and without oxygen (represented by black squares) as temperature increases relative to thermodynamic prediction.

Researchers at the University of Connecticut have found that reducing oxygen in some nanocrystalline materials may improve their strength and durability at elevated temperatures, a promising enhancement that could lead to better biosensors, faster jet engines, and greater capacity semiconductors...
