The properties of materials at the nanoscale can be drastically different from their bulk counterparts. Grain boundaries can act as barriers to dislocation motion, affect electrical conductivity, and influence thermal transport. By controlling these boundaries, it’s possible to tailor materials to exhibit superior strength, improved electrical properties, and better thermal stability. This makes GBE crucial for developing advanced materials for nanodevices, nanoelectronics, and other high-performance applications.
