  "term": "High-entropy alloy",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An alloy composed of five or more principal elements in near-equiatomic proportions, leading to a high configurational entropy. This high entropy can stabilize simple solid solution phases, such as face-centered cubic or body-centered cubic, rather than forming complex intermetallic compounds. These alloys often exhibit exceptional mechanical properties, including high strength and ductility.",
