"Unprecedently radiation-tolerant Al alloys via vacancy-mediated anomalous solid-state phase transformation." Materials Today 92 (2026) 215–225.

This work reports an anomalous solid-state phase transformation pathway in aluminium alloys mediated by excess vacancies introduced during irradiation. The resulting microstructure confers unprecedented radiation tolerance, with implications for structural materials in energy and aerospace applications.
