Interesting (what I could understand - I became a preacher because I was so good at Metallurgy) If you go one story down you will see a description of "High-Entropy" metal. I would have thought that was 70's British steel turning to dust but turns out I am wrong.

Interesting read, I hope they acheave their goal on making it practical for everyday use. Probably be years before that happens. Great discovery though. PJ

Maybe they can use it as a substitute for unobtainium.

Likely too brittle for train tracks. But certainly neat that there are still metal alloys we've yet to find and put to use.

Not for the new levitating trains!
