Despite having weakly bonded layers, MAX phases demonstrate a surprisingly high damage tolerance. Researchers at Texas A&M and Universite Grenoble Alpes in France showed how cracks in a MAX single crystal can close and heal, thus contributing to the high damage tolerance.
Read MoreDetermining oxidation stability of new MAX phases is a difficult and expensive process with current computational and experimental methods. Researchers at Texas A&M University designed a new machine-learning-based scheme for predicting the oxidation of MAX phases at high temperatures, allowing them to conduct studies that may otherwise take years to perform.
Read MoreResearchers at Texas A&M University found antioxidants such as vitamin C keep MXenes from rapidly degrading. Their finding could significantly increase the shelf life of MXenes, which would help industry bring MXene-based technology to fruition.
