Piezoelectric ceramics, as essential components of actuators and transducers, have captured significant attention in both industrial scientific research. The "entropy engineering" approach has been demonstrated to achieve excellent performance lead-based materials. In this study, the was employed introduce morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) into bismuth ferrite (BF)-based lead-free system. By employing strategy, a serial novel "medium high entropy" piezoelectric ceramics were successfully...

Oxygen isotope compositions of fossil foraminifera tests are commonly used proxies for ocean paleotemperatures, with reconstructions spanning the last 112 million years.
