High-temperature shock (HTS) is an emerging synthesis method with kinetics-dominated non-equilibrium characteristics, which can achieve an ultrafast heating/cooling rate of ~10 5 K/s and a peak ...
Entropy is a hot mess. Randomness and disorder are not exactly virtues in science. Yet it turns out, a sloppy jumble of differently sized atoms can do a better job stabilizing certain nanocrystals ...
The activation entropy of dislocation glide, a key process controlling the strength of many metals, is often assumed to be constant or linked to enthalpy through the empirical Meyer-Neldel law-both of ...
A new generation of refractory alloys with excellent high-temperature performance is urgently demanded for aero-engines, gas turbines, and nuclear power plants. As the service temperature of their hot ...
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 ...
Thermodynamics is perhaps the most far-reaching subdiscipline of all the sciences, with applications in astrophysics, biology, chemistry, engineering and fundamental physics. Einstein was convinced ...
