ATLANTA—A team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Georgia Institute of Technology has 3D printed a dual-phase, nanostructured high-entropy alloy that exceeds the strength and ductility of other state-of-the-art additively manufactured materials, which could lead to higher-performance components for applications in aerospace, medicine, energy and transportation. 

OAK RIDGE, TN—Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile and impressively strong, its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.
