Elastic material instabilities are precursors to failure in defect-free graphene single crystals. Elastic instabilities originate from softening in the material response (decay of tangent moduli) induced by dilatant mechanical deformation. Here, we characterize the softening in the constitutive response of graphene wi…

We report the simple synthesis of tellurium nanowires (TeNWs) by a one-pot scale-up hydrothermal process. A clean wet-chemical method, employing telluric acid (Te(OH)6) as a source of tellurium, ascorbic acid as a weak reducing agent, and a linear polymer as a template, has been developed for the synthesis of TeNWs wi…

Recent studies dedicated to the characterisation of in-vessel dust in JET with the new ITER-like wall (ILW) show that dust levels are orders of magnitude lower compared with the latter stages of the carbon-wall (CW) period and are decreasing with operational time. Less than 1 g of dust was recovered in a recent inspec…
