Prince Sharma: Seeing the wider picture
Borides are compounds composed of boron and one other element. They are known for being extremely hard, and as such, researchers believed that mixing four or more metals in the boride system—to create what are known as high-entropy borides—would yield even harder materials. Such materials could have potential applications in both military and space aircraft.
