# gst: high entropy can alloy immiscible nanoparticles

<< Making a giant leap in the 'tiny' field of nanoscience, a multi-institutional team of researchers is the first to create nanoscale particles composed of up to eight distinct elements generally known to be  immiscible, or incapable of being mixed or blended together >>

<< To create the high entropy alloy nanoparticles, the researchers employed a two-step method of flash heating followed by flash cooling >>

<< With cross-discipline curiosity, the demonstrated applications of these particles will become even more widespread >> Steven D. Lacey.
