Dear colleagues,
we recently published a paper on measuring bulk properties of irradiated copper from nanoscale samples:

Hope you find this interesting!

Call for Abstracts: Symposium 3.2/5.6
"Molecular to Macroscale Mechanics in Biology and Engineering"
48th Annual Technical Meeting of Society of Engineering Sciences (SES) October 12-14, 2011 at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL)
Top candidates are sought for a collaborative research project between Dr. Sandra Shefelbine (Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London) and Dr. Markus Buehler (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). This project will use molecular modelling techniques and associated experimental methods to explore the collagen-apatite interface in bone.

Abstract
Although deformation processes in submicron-sized metallic crystals are
well documented, the direct observation of deformation mechanisms in
crystals with dimensions below the sub-10-nm range is currently lacking.
Here, through in situ high-resolution transmission electron
microscopy (HRTEM) observations, we show that (1) in sharp contrast to
what happens in bulk materials, in which plasticity is mediated by
dislocation emission from Frank-Read sources and multiplication, partial
dislocations emitted from free surfaces dominate the deformation of
We are inviting abstracts for the following special session: Multiscale Computational Nanomechanics, Sixth MIT conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics, June 15-17, 2011, Cambridge, MA, USA.
