Researchers create new ultra-strong alloy
The Modelling and Simulation Research Group and collaborators have recently published a paper investigating a new high-entropy alloy (HEA). The team, led by Assistant Professor Mauricio Ponga, designed the material’s composition using atomic-level computer simulations to find an optimal mixture of elements. This novel material combines cobalt, chromium, iron, molybdenum, and niobium atoms. It was […]
