Most high-strength alloys fail at cryo temperature - a challenge for storing liquid #hydrogen , methane & ammonia . D Raabe & his team designed a new Co-Ni-V alloy with 1.8 GPa strength & 42.6% ductility at 87 K through a dual-scale ordering strategy. doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

How can a stable metal oxide be reduced #CO2 -free and at a lower temperature to produce an iron-chromium alloy, the most basic component of stainless #steel ? Shiv Shankar, Barak Ratzker & Yan Ma published their thermodynamic framework in Materials Today: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Nina Kosian 👏 Her poster on advancing #iron oxide thin films that are potential candidates for green #hydrogen production won the Best Poster Award at the Microscopy Conference MC2025. mpie.de/5107204/nina-k…
