Strength, ductility, and failure properties of metals are tailored by plastic deformation routes. Predicting these properties requires modeling of the structural dynamics and stress evolution taking place on several length scales. Progress has been hampered by a lack of representative 3D experimental data at industrially relevant degrees of deformation.

Article Synopsis
  • The ongoing fight against HIV is hindered by the lack of an effective vaccine and the virus's ability to develop drug resistance, highlighting the need for new therapies.
  • This study utilized a deep-learning method called a long short-term memory (LSTM) variational autoencoder to explore potential new drugs for HIV, training on a dataset of 1,377 SMILES-encoded compounds with a high accuracy of 91%.
  • The research generated new drug candidates, evaluated their interactions with HIV using AI models, and confirmed their drug likeliness based on Lipinski's rule of five, showcasing a promising direction for drug discovery against HIV.

Connecting a bulk material's microscopic defects to its macroscopic properties is an age-old problem in materials science. Long-range interactions between dislocations (line defects) are known to play a key role in how materials deform or melt, but we lack the tools to connect these dynamics to the macroscopic properties. We introduce time-resolved dark-field x-ray microscopy to directly visualize how dislocations move and interact over hundreds of micrometers deep inside bulk aluminum.
