High Entropy Alloys Group at Chalmers

I occasionally think of one thing: is Physically Metallurgy nowadays really much more advanced than Alchemy in medieval times?

Take a look at the definition for Alchemy: 

The medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter, esp. that of base metals into gold. 

A process by which paradoxical results are achieved or incompatible elements combined with no obvious rational explanation.

A seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.

If you are familiar with the alloy design for high-entropy alloys (or amorphous alloys), hopefully you will see the point that I try to make here. 

Nevertheless, we enjoy the alloyed pleasure, and that's why we research on complex concentrated alloys, mainly high-entropy alloys.
