Low-temperature deformation of body-centered cubic metals shows a significant amount of plastic slip on planes with low shear stresses, a phenomenon called anomalous slip. Despite progress in atomistic modeling of the consequences of complex stress states on dislocation mobility, the phenomenon of anomalous slip remained elusive. Using in situ Laue microdiffraction and discrete dislocation dynamics in micrometer sized tungsten single crystals, we demonstrate the occurrence of significant anomalous slip. It occurs as a consequence of cross kinks, topological configurations generated by prior dislocation interactions. This clearly identifies anomalous slip as a multidislocation process and not a property of isolated dislocations. The cross-kink mechanism also explains the ambiguous reporting of anomalous slip traces in the past and directs us to ways of including anomalous slip in continuum crystal plasticity formulations.

Insights into the anomalous hardness of the tantalum carbides from dislocation mobility.

Article Synopsis
- Tantalum carbides (TaC) exhibit unusual hardness behavior where they initially harden with some carbon loss, then soften with further decarburization, a phenomenon seen since 1963 but not fully understood.
- This study identifies a shift in the slip system for TaC from {111} to {110} as carbon content decreases, contrasting with titanium carbide (TiC), which does not show this transition.
- Experimental findings reveal a hardness peak in bulk TaC samples at varying carbon levels, while thin films do not show this peak due to diminished dislocation plasticity in nanocrystalline structures.
Anatomical variation of quadratus plantae with flexor digitorum longus tendon along with unilateral polydactyly of the toes: a rare case report.

During routine dissection, we observed a unique case of unilateral polydactyly in the left foot of a 61-year-old male cadaver. We observed the medial head of the quadratus plantae (QP) muscle, which gave off an additional tendinous slip before joining the lateral head of QP. The 4th tendon of the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) was bifurcated into two tendinous parts after receiving a thin fibrous slip from the tendinous slip of the medial head of QP.

Although friction of liquids on solid surfaces is traditionally linked to wettability, recent works have unveiled the role of the solid's internal excitations on interfacial dissipation. In order to directly evidence such couplings, we take advantage of the considerable variation of the molecular timescales of supercooled glycerol under mild change of temperature to explore how friction depends on the liquid's molecular dynamics. Using a dedicated tuning-fork AFM, we measure the slippage of glycerol on mica.

Popliteal vein entrapment syndrome (PVES) is a rare subtype of popliteal entrapment syndrome that leads to symptoms of chronic venous stasis. We report a case of isolated PVES in a young patient associated with an accessory slip of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle. The patient underwent resection of the anomalous muscle, and the symptoms were relieved postoperatively.

It is a known and experimentally verified fact that the flow of pressure-driven nanoconfined fluids cannot be accurately described by the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with non-slip boundary conditions, and the measured volumetric flow rates are much higher than those predicted by macroscopical continuum models. In particular, the flow enhancement factors (the ratio between the flow rates directly measured by experiments or simulations and those predicted by the non-slip NS equation) reported by previous studies have more than five orders of magnitude differences. We showcased an anomalous phenomenon in which the flow enhancement exhibits a non-monotonic correlation with fluid pressure within the carbon nanotube with a diameter of 2 nm.
