Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed a new approach to create stronger alloys for extreme environments, such as space or the Arctic. Their method focuses on Multi-Principal Element Alloys (MPEAs), which are composed of several elements in nearly equal proportions. By using a combination of arc melting and advanced machine learning algorithms, they can quickly design and test new alloy compositions. This process allows for rapid identification of promising materials with enhanced properties like hardness and thermal stability, essential for extreme conditions.
