The main goal of this workshop is to bring together a lineup of well-known scientists, researchers and engineers to review recent achievements, discuss the current puzzles and share the visions for the future of advancing materials performance from the nanoscale as well as the developments of state-of-the-art instruments that enable such explorations, with an emphasis on the incipience and evolution of plastic deformation carriers in metals and alloys (light alloys, refractory metals, high entropy alloys etc), nano-mechanics and in situ TEM related topics. The content includes but not limited to experimental, theoretical and computational studies of traditional metals and alloys etc. 

This workshop will provide a wonderful opportunity to learn the basic knowledge of the proposed topics, communicate with a strong lineup of internationally recognized invited speakers, talk face to-face with well-established researchers and scientists on their most recent works and be updated on state-of-the-art technologies by leading industry manufacturers.
