Crystal structures underpin the physical properties of materials, while intermetallic compounds—characterised by well‐defined stoichiometries and ordered arrangements of metallic elements—offer a rich ...

To material scientists the phrase "ductile intermetallic compounds" has long been considered an oxymoron. Although these compounds possess chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, and ...

Hydrogen has the highest energy density (120 MJ/kg) of all known substances, approximately three times more than diesel or gasoline, meaning it could play a pivotal role in sustainable energy systems.

Researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology have unveiled the formation mechanisms of various phases, including intermetallic compounds (IMCs), within nickel–tungsten (Ni–W) alloys. Their ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and ...

Multi-junction solar cells are both the most efficient type of solar cell on the market today and the most expensive type of solar cell to produce. In a proof-of-concept paper, researchers from North ...
