Scientists from the University of California San Diego have developed a method to make ceramics tougher and more resistant to cracking. By using a mix of metal atoms with a higher number of valence electrons, they have created high-entropy carbides that can withstand higher levels of force and stress. These ceramics exhibit a more ductile behavior, similar to metals, and can deform and stretch instead of breaking easily. The discovery opens up possibilities for applications in aerospace components, protective coatings, and extreme environments. Scaling up production for commercial use is the next challenge.
Aaron Rodgers praised Joe Burrow for playing through a nagging calf injury, revealing that he had a conversation with the Bengals quarterback about the injury.

Scientists have developed a new type of oxide glass with unprecedented toughness by utilizing paracrystallization, a process that creates crystal-like structures within the glass. Under high pressures and temperatures, the aluminosilicate glass was transformed into a paracrystalline state, which significantly increased its resistance to stress and damage. The resulting glass exhibited a toughness never before measured for oxide glasses, while maintaining its transparency. This breakthrough could lead to the development of more durable and damage-resistant glass products in various industries.
Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a highly damage-tolerant glass by paracrystallizing aluminosilicate glass under high pressures and temperatures. The resulting paracrystalline structures significantly increase the toughness of the glass, reaching a value never before measured for oxide glasses. The transparency of the glass is not affected, and the paracrystalline structures dissolve under external forces, enhancing the glass's internal plasticity and preventing breakage or cracking. This discovery opens up possibilities for developing highly damage-tolerant glass materials.
This article provides tips on breaking sturdy walls and structures in the game Baldur's Gate 3. Toughness indicates the damage threshold needed to deal damage to a structure, and hitting it with the appropriate weapon type or element can increase the chances of reducing its health. Examining the structure reveals its weaknesses and resistances, allowing players to strategize their attacks.
