The basic theory for athermal dislocation storage and work hardening is revisited. The mean free slip length is redefined enabling a straightforward geometrical interpretation that can be directly compared to the grain size. It is realized that this geometrical mean free slip length is larger than the typical grain si…

Size-controlled and ordered assemblies of artificial nanotubes are promising for practical applications; however, the supramolecular assembly of such systems remains challenging. A novel strategy is proposed that can be used to reinforce intermolecular noncovalent interactions to construct hierarchical supramolecular…
