A newly developed alloy features extraordinary mechanical strength and thermal stability. The nanocrystalline alloy has a high resistance to coarsening and deformation even when exposed to extremely high temperatures. Kiran Solanki, a professor in the the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Fulton Schools, is a member of the team that achieved the materials science and engineering advance, which was reported about in the prominent journal Science. Solanki and his partners in the project detail the technical capabilities of the new material and describe its resilience and other qualities that promise to make it useful in myriad engineering applications.
