On the impact of capillarity for strength at the nanoscale

Nanoscale crystals can experience lattice instability and a tension-compression asymmetry of their strength. Here, Mameka and colleagues scrutinize the proposition that these phenomena arise from surface-induced stress, finding that the surface tension contributes significantly, while the surface st...
