Metals and alloys - AQA
This explains why many pure metals are soft. In an alloy, there are atoms of different sizes. The smaller or bigger atoms distort the layers of atoms in the pure metal. This means that a greater ...

Scientists develop pyrochlore magnet, a new alloy composed of multiple metals that breaks thermal rules
NEW ALLOY DEFIES HEAT—BARELY EXPANDS AT ANY TEMPERATURE ... “The higher the temperature in a material, the more the atoms tend to move – and when the atoms move more, they need more space.
