The first bulk ceramic that deforms like a metal at room temperature

Nature, Published online: 23 February 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-00443-8An innovative high-strength ceramic consists of interlocked, nanometre-scale plates in which stacked layers of the material are twisted relative to each other. It can deform at room temperature without fracturing instantly — thereby achieving a long-standing goal for materials scientists.
