Scientists discover new class of semiconducting entropy-stabilized materials

The design of novel materials with superior characteristics by entropy stabilization is a very dynamic emerging research area in materials science. However, despite recent advances in entropy-stabilized metals and insulating ceramics targeted for structural applications, there is still a dearth of high-entropy semiconductors, which poses a major obstacle for the adoption of high-entropy materials in semiconducting functional applications.

Turning non-magnetic materials magnetic with atomically thin films

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. An international team of researchers found that it was possible to turn a non-magne...
