• , various branches of machine learning have been the key facilitators in forging new paths, ranging from categorizing big data to instrumental control, from materials design through image analysis. Deep learning has the ability to identify abstract characteristics embedded within a data set, subsequently

• traditional methods of high-strain deformation, such as rolling or forging, are not applicable. Nanoindentation is widely used for characterizing the mechanical properties of nano- and micro-scale specimens. It can also be employed to produce defects of controlled shape and size, and to introduce high plastic

• . The technique used, called nanoforging, is very similar to the macroscopic forging process. Results: With spring actuated tools produced by focused ion beam milling, controlled forging is demonstrated. With only three steps, a conical bar stock is transformed to a flat- and semicircular bent bar stock

• . Conclusion: Compared with other forming techniques in the reduced scale, nanoforging represents a beneficial approach in forming freestanding metallic structures, due to its simplicity, and supplements other forming techniques. Keywords: forging; manipulation; nanoforging; plastic deformation; tungsten

• ; Findings The macroscopic world offers a large variety of three-dimensional forming processes, for example casting, forging or cutting. Producing three-dimensional mechanical resilient structures in the submicron- and nanoscale is a very challenging task. Generally, when size is reduced it becomes more and

• techniques. The term self-assembling monolayer was thus coined with reference to the planned layer-by-layer assembly of organized films thicker than a single monolayer [2]. These directions, which gained momentum in the 1980s and continue strongly today, are forging new avenues of development. With the
