Researchers have created intermetallic alloy nanoparticles of palladium and zinc with an alternating arrangement of zinc and palladium atoms. The intermetallic alloy is more corrosion-resistant than ...

What has been impossible has now been shown to be possible – an alloy between two incompatible elements. The findings are being published in this week's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Iron atoms form a rigid hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, with a subset of these atoms exhibiting collective motion along the [100] and [010] directions. Within this hcp iron lattice, ...

Alloys are not just random combinations of elements; they are precisely engineered to enhance specific properties, such as strength, corrosion resistance, ductility, and conductivity. 1, 2 For example ...
