A finding by Professor TG Nieh, IAS Visiting Professor and his team was featured on Nature. The materials scientists proposed that oxygen can take the form of ordered oxygen complexes, a state in between oxide particles and frequently occurring random interstitials. These results provide insight into the role of interstitial solid solutions and associated ordering strengthening mechanisms in metallic materials.

高等研究院客席研究員聶台岡教授與材料科學研究團隊，發現氧可採取有序氧絡合物的形式，分析氧化物顆粒和頻繁出現的隨機填隙之間的狀態。深入剖析間隙固溶體及其相關的有序加強機制在金屬材料中的作用。
