As researchers and enthusiasts of materials engineered for extreme environments, we are thrilled to share an exciting new advancement in the field of high-entropy ceramics (HECs). Our journey into the world of radiation-resistant materials has led us to examine the latest findings from a novel study: Probing the High-Entropy Concept Through the Irradiation Response of … Continue reading Probing the High-Entropy Concept Through the Irradiation Response of Near-Equimolar (CrNbTaTiW)C Ceramic Coatings
I absolutely love the YouTube channel of physicist Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder! In one of her videos, she brilliantly explains the crucial role of falsifiability in science, particularly in physics. In scientific research, theories must be tested through experiments. If experiments show that a theory is incorrect, then it is incorrect! Even more importantly, a scientific … Continue reading The importance of falsifiability in science, Dr. Hossenfelder
