While most metals feature some degree of elasticity, some respond better than others to being bent out of shape. Scientists experimenting with the makeup of these materials have developed a novel, ...

City University of Hong Kong researchers have accidentally discovered a first-of-its-kind alloy that retains its stiffness instead of softening as the temperature rises. Indeed, high-entropy Elinvar ...

The stiffness of the high-entropy Elinvar alloy remains invariant to temperature. Metals usually soften when they expand under heating, but a research team led by a City University of Hong Kong (CityU ...

A research group has developed a bulk copper-based alloy boasting the largest tensile elastic strain at room temperature to date. Even when subjected to certain levels of stress, metals can spring ...

A recent article in Communications Materials proposed a novel approach to enhance the elastic modulus of a cast aluminum alloy by incorporating isostructural Laves phases to form a multi-component, ...
