Molybdenum is typically used to reinforce nuclear reactors, jet engine turbine blades, and rocket nozzles because it doesn\u2019t melt until it is heated to more than 2,600 degrees Celsius. Controlling its atomic structure at room temperature could open the door to more applications, including next-generation semiconductors.\r\n\r\nThe engineers found that pressing a fine diamond tip a few nanometers into molybdenum can reform the crystals inside molybdenum, giving the metal new properties. The results, <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.2612140123\">published<\/a> in the <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/em>, took the researchers by surprise.\r\n<h3>A happy accident<\/h3>\r\n\u201cWe had a hypothesis that applying extreme pressure to molybdenum would cause it to transform to a new solid phase,\u201d says Associate Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/me\/people\/faculty\/abdolrahim_niaz\/index.html\">Niaz Abdolrahim<\/a> from URochester\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/me\/index.html\">Department of Mechanical Engineering<\/a>. \u201cBut then we found this interesting phenomenon of an entirely different stress-driven mechanism.\u201d\r\n\r\nAbdolrahim says that while metals look uniform to the naked eye, zooming in on their microstructures reveals that they are made of many small atomic regions called crystal grains. Changing the shape, orientation, and size of crystal grains redefines how a material behaves\u2014affecting things like its strength and malleability. And normally, molybdenum\u2019s crystal grains cannot be changed\u2014or recrystallized\u2014until it is heated to about 1,000 degrees Celsius.\r\n\r\nThrough experiments and computer modeling, the researchers found that molybdenum can be recrystallized at room temperature using a tiny, calibrated probe called a nanoindenter, which has a diamond tip that is used to test material properties. But recrystallization requires precision. Just a little force from the nanoindenter creates extreme pressure that causes the diamond tip to push through the metal\u2019s surface in a quick movement known as a \u201cpop-in.\u201d Entering this pop-in phase causes the metal to recrystallize. But applying too much pressure\u2014and moving past the pop-in phase\u2014causes the new grains to disappear.\r\n\r\nManually stopping the test right after the pop-in event causes recrystallization in a tiny region surrounding the dent left in the material. Researchers say the technique can be useful for fixing defects within a larger sample of molybdenum, changing the properties of the defected area to the desired state without affecting the rest of the sample.\r\n\r\n\u201cCurrently if you have a damaged sample, to fix it or form new grains, you have to heat the whole sample up to 1,000 degrees Celsius or more,\u201d says Afnan Mostafa, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/me\/graduate\/phd.html\">mechanical engineering PhD<\/a> student in Abdolrahim\u2019s lab. \u201cHere we show you don\u2019t need to heat up the whole sample. You just need to know where to poke, how much, and when to stop.\u201d\r\n<h3>Putting the chips on molybdenum<\/h3>\r\nThe researchers say semiconductor manufacturers are exploring molybdenum as a potential material for next-generation semiconductor interconnects, the tiny wires that connect millions of components on a microchip. As artificial intelligence systems demand more and more computing power, manufacturers are trying to make smaller and more powerful microchips. To achieve this, researchers are exploring replacing the copper in semiconductors with molybdenum.\r\n\r\n\u201cCopper usually has a resistance increase at nano scales, which means electricity doesn\u2019t flow through it as well,\u201d says Mostafa. \u201cMolybdenum doesn\u2019t have that problem, which makes it appealing for the next generation of tiny microchip interconnects.\u201d\r\n\r\nBut molybdenum currently has its own drawbacks, which the researchers\u2019 new technique may help address.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhile molybdenum is extremely durable at high temperatures, at room temperatures, it can snap without any warning that it\u2019s going to break,\u201d Mostafa says. \u201cSo, we want to explore if we can improve that. If we can find new ways to recrystallize the material at room temperature, it could give us new uses for molybdenum that are currently only available at high temperatures.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe National Science Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/show-award?AWD_ID=2208681\">supported<\/a> this research.","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A tiny poke gives molybdenum a new structure<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new method to recrystallize molybdenum, a heat-resistant metal, without extreme heat offers possibilities for next-gen semiconductors.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/what-is-molybdenum-chemical-element-mo-metal-restructure-heat-732432\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A tiny poke gives molybdenum a new structure\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new method to recrystallize molybdenum, a heat-resistant metal, without extreme heat offers possibilities for next-gen semiconductors.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/what-is-molybdenum-chemical-element-mo-metal-restructure-heat-732432\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-11-09T17:07:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/fea-what-is-molybdenum-used-for-2026-11-02_molybdenite_0012-1200x630.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Luke Auburn\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Luke Auburn\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/what-is-molybdenum-chemical-element-mo-metal-restructure-heat-732432\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/what-is-molybdenum-chemical-element-mo-metal-restructure-heat-732432\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Luke Auburn\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/e928dc2863b53a89ece6d40c7992a4e1\"},\"headline\":\"A tiny poke gives molybdenum a new structure\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-11-09T17:07:06+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/what-is-molybdenum-chemical-element-mo-metal-restructure-heat-732432\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":26,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/what-is-molybdenum-chemical-element-mo-metal-restructure-heat-732432\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rochester.edu\\\/newscenter\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/11\\\/fea-what-is-molybdenum-used-for-2026-11-02_molybdenite_0012-e1794244509502.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"Department of Mechanical Engineering\",\"Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\",\"Niaz Abdolrahim\",\"research finding\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Science &amp;
