The synthesis of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) — small particles each containing multiple principal metal elements — typically requires extreme conditions to ensure adequate mixing of ...

At first glance, the machine seems to be building a miniature cityscape. A ring of nozzles fires four jets of powdered metal into a downward-pointed laser beam, which fuses the colliding grains in a ...

A subzero ice recrystallization route creates multimetal high entropy aerogels and coatings with uniform element mixing, offering a low temperature path to porous macroscopic alloy structures.

Next-generation technology requires next-generation materials that can be tailored to exact mission requirements. Additive ...

Stripes, curved fibres, dot arrays and some exotic stripe-dot hybrids on the surface of a frozen liquid metal. (Courtesy: K Kalantar-Zadeh) Highly ordered nanopatterns spontaneously form on the ...

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 ...

Molecular metallurgists galvanize and gild atoms and discover main principle for alloys. In the neverland between molecule and metal they discovered a new family of compounds. Molecular metallurgists ...

Although metal alloys is not among the most exciting topics for most people, the moment you add the word ‘radioactive’, it does tend to get their attention. So too with the once fairly common Mag-Thor ...

Researchers have found a new approach to preventing embrittlement that could be useful in nuclear reactors. High-tech metal alloys are widely used in important materials such as the cladding that ...

Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...
