Simple stabilizing solution leads to seven new ceramic materials

Hands holding new ceramic material samples

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State created seven new high-entropy oxides, or HEOs: a class of ceramics composed of five or more metals with potential for applications in energy storage, electronics and protective coatings.
