A research team co-led by materials scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently discovered a new mechanism to increase the strength and ductility of a high-entropy alloy, two ...

Thermal/Environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) are widely used in aircraft engines and power-generation gas turbines to protect hot-section superalloys and/or ceramic matrix composite components from ...

The study, led by UC San Diego nanoengineering professor Kenneth Vecchio, centers on a class of ceramics known as high-entropy carbides. These materials have highly disordered atomic structures, ...

If you have a deep-seated, nagging worry over dropping your phone in molten lava, you're in luck. Materials scientists have developed a method for rapidly discovering a new class of materials with ...

A research team has successfully developed a new composition and processing technology for transparent plasma-resistant high-entropy ceramics. This innovation is the first of its kind in the world and ...

As aeroengine thrust-to-weight ratios continue to improve, the operating temperature of their hot-end components has risen steadily, placing stricter demands on the performance of temperature sensors.

A recent article in Nature Communications proposed a high-entropy tungsten bronze-type relaxor ferroelectric ceramic with an ultrahigh recoverable energy density of 11.0 J/cm 3 and a high efficiency ...

History has shown that materials science has long prized symmetry and stability, celebrating crystals whose atoms lock into place like repeating tiles on an infinite floor. It is this type of order ...
