A new critical review published in Materials Futures traces the rapid evolution of Refractory High-Entropy Alloys (RHEAs), a revolutionary class of materials engineered for extreme environments. The ...

A strategy of multiscale collaborative design which combines high-entropy effect, dual-phase composition, highly porous structure and foam-gelcasting-freeze drying technique leads to uniform element ...

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.

Physicists have upended a foundational law of materials science by heating gold to over 19,000°C — more than 14 times its melting point — while it remained perfectly solid. The study, published in ...

Gold usually melts at 1,300 kelvins—a temperature hotter than fresh lava from a volcano. But scientists recently shot a nanometers-thick sample of gold with a laser and heated it to an astonishing ...
