Penn State researchers have pioneered a new method for creating high-entropy oxides by strategically removing oxygen during synthesis. This allows for the incorporation of destabilizing metals, leading to the formation of stable rock-salt ceramics previously considered impossible. Using machine learning to predict viable compositions and advanced imaging to verify stability, the team successfully synthesized seven novel high-entropy oxides. This technique provides a versatile platform for designing and creating entirely new classes of materials with tailored properties, opening doors to future materials science innovations.
