He has applied and developed in situ mechanical tests on carbon nanotubes, Si nanowires, graphene and relevant 2D materials, and experimentally obtained their bending modulus, fracture/buckling strength, and plasticity behaviors. The atomic structures and dynamical responses in atomic scale have been observed/revealed. These previous relevant researches have been published in renowned journals such as Science, PNAS, Nature Communications, Nano Letters, etc. with Dr Zhao as the first/corresponding authors.
