A Different Perspective on the Solid Lubrication Performance of Black Phosphorus: Friend or Foe?
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Researchers investigate black phosphorus (BP) as a standalone solid lubricant coating through ball‐on‐disc linear‐reciprocating sliding experiments in dry conditions. Testing on different metals shows BP doesn't universally reduce friction and wear. However, it achieves 33% friction reduction on rougher iron surfaces and 23% wear reduction on aluminum.

Machine Learning Applied to High Entropy Alloys under Irradiation
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Designing alloys for extreme environments demands fast, trustworthy prediction. This review charts how machine learning—especially machine‐learned interatomic potentials and predictive models based on experiment‐informed datasets—captures the complexity of high‐entropy alloys in extreme environments, predicts phase formation, mechanical properties, and
