Summary

Story summary

Researchers developed an isothermal solidification method to synthesize high-entropy alloys (HEAs) without rapid cooling.
The process uses gallium-based liquid metal to drive elemental mixing via liquid-liquid interface reactions at 25–80°C.
It enables precise crystallinity control, producing single crystals, mesocrystals, polycrystals, and amorphous structures.
It enables complete gallium consumption, yielding gallium-free HEAs with higher purity and promising lower energy consumption.
