Refractory high-entropy ceramics are attractive for use in extreme environments. Here, non-equimolar refractory metal high-entropy nitrides exhibit 6.9 GPa strength at 1000 °C during micromechanical ...

We are surrounded by a variety of alloys in our everyday lives. Brass for example, is made from copper and zinc, while stainless steel is a mixture of iron and chromium. The majority of these alloys ...

A team led by Physics professors Kai Liu and Gen Yin and graduate student Willie Beeson (G’25) has discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals — a ...

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed novel high-entropy sulfides (HESs) as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). These materials contain a combination ...

Researchers of Tomsk Polytechnic University, as part of a scientific collaboration, have for the first time obtained ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...

In their quest for more-efficient catalysts and better battery components, scientists are exploring a new category of materials known as high-entropy oxides. These oxides, made from five or more ...

The process of alloying has been used by material engineers, particularly to impart useful specific properties to different materials. In the process of alloying, different materials in trace ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications introduces a new method to improve lithium-ion battery performance. Researchers applied high-entropy doping (HED) to niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...
