Abstract:
Few areas of materials science have evolved as rapidly and dynamically as high-entropy alloys (HEAs). What began just two decades ago as a bold idea - first articulated by Brian Cantor and Jien-Wei Yeh - that chemical complexity itself could stabilise materials, has grown into a thriving research field spanning structural, functional, and catalytic applications. The Faraday Discussions 'High-entropy alloy nanostructures: from theory to application', held at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London, brought together researchers from across the world to examine a fundamental question at the heart of this concept: with multicomponent alloys now within reach, do they truly deliver beyond simpler systems, or does complexity risk obscuring purpose?

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
