Grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline and nanocrystalline materials are rarely flat, and their curvatures often evolve dynamically in three-dimensional (3D) GB network under thermomechanical stimulations. However, the complexity of polycrystalline microstructure greatly hinders our understanding...
