Description
Nine authors, led by Zikang Su, show in 2026 a laser method that makes mixed metal particles of many sizes, from single atoms to grains a hundred units wide. Such mixed alloys, with five or more metals, promise strong gains for chemical plants and new materials. No single recipe could make them in all forms until now.
Short, fierce laser pulses free electrons that strip metal ions down to atoms in a flash. The atoms clump and freeze fast, before they can sort into layers. One mix of iron, cobalt, nickel, and other metals drove a key fuel cell reaction well. The method worked on many base surfaces too.
