The developing cutting-edge technologies involving extreme mechanical environments, such as high-frequency vibrations, mechanical shocks, or repeated twisting, require ceramic components to integrate high strength, large bending strain, and even plastic deformation, which is difficult in conventional ceramic materials. The emergence of ceramic nanofibers (CNFs) offers potential solutions; unfortunately, this desirable integration of mechanical properties in CNFs remains unrealized to date, due to challenges in pre…
