Recently, Professor Liang Yongcheng from the College of Science and Professor Zhang Guojun from the Institute of Functional Materials have made new progress in the field of novel properties of high-entropy borides. Their research result “Coexistence of Superhardness and Metal-Like Electrical Conductivity in High-Entropy Dodecaboride Composite with Atomic-Scale Interlocks”, was published in Nano Letters. Cui Jian, a postgraduate studentfrom the College of Science, DHU, Class of 2023, and Zheng Xingwei, Associate Professor are co-first authors. Liang Yongcheng from the College of Science, DHU, Associate Researcher Liu Jixuan from the Institute of Functional Materials, DHU, and Associate Researcher Bao Weichao from Shanghai Institute of Ceramics under Chinese Academy of Sciences are co-corresponding authors.
