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 ...

(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 ...

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a ...

The bottom part of the image schematically shows the atomic-level alloying of the HEA, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. A recent study published in Engineering has delved into the ...

A new study reveals how different synthesis methods can profoundly impact the structure and function of high entropy oxides, a class of materials with applications in everyday electronic devices. A ...

A group of researchers from Northeastern University of China developed a novel FeCrVNiAl eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEA) that exhibits a remarkable combination of mechanical strength and high ...

Laser written high entropy oxide electrodes with tree like nanoarrays integrate structure and chemistry to achieve efficient and durable hydrogen production under industrial electrolysis conditions.

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 ...
