Scientists design tuneable materials by altering metallic recipes
Original: 'Mix-and-match' material's properties can be tuned by changing its metallic 'recipe'
Researchers have developed a 'mix-and-match' material whose properties can be adjusted by changing the combination of metals used in its structure, according to a report on Phys.org. The approach lets scientists tune the material's characteristics by altering its metallic 'recipe' rather than synthesising entirely new compounds. The finding could matter for fields like catalysis, electronics and materials design, where customisable properties are highly valued.
Why now: The promise of a single tunable material platform replacing bespoke synthesis is a notable advance in materials science.
