What metal is more resistant to heat than tungsten? The melting point for tungsten, which is 3,422, is the highest of all metal elements on the periodic table (the boiling point being 5,930). No metal element is higher in melting point than the tun…
Nanowires to replace infrared first Due to the rapid growth of the display industry, as well the high processing costs of ITO films and the limited indium resources, the industry has looked for alternatives, such as nanowires. Silver nanowires, amon…
As a two dimensional material typical of many other materials, graphene is widely used by scientists and industries in a variety of fields. What exactly is a 2-dimensional material? Simple, two-dimensional material is a non-nanoscale material (1-100n…
The titanium hydride used in powder metallurgy and metal-ceramic sealing is also used to provide titanium for the alloy powder. Titanium Hydride is brittle. It can be used for powdered titanium. The hydride is also used to weld. Thermal decomposit…
What is Hafnium Carbide and Tantalum Carbide? Tantalum carbide is a brown powder that belongs to the cubic sodium chloride system. The tantalum carbide used today is a sintered cemented carbide grain growth inhibitor. This has an important effect in…
What is tungsten Oxide?Tungsten dioxide has the molecular formula WO3 with a weight of 2318.5. It is a form of tungsticanhydride. Tungsten dioxide is not produced in industrial production. The tungsten-trioxide salts are classified according to thei…
In recent years, transition metal dichalcogenide was one of the key two-dimensional materials for quantum functional applications. These materials have a honeycomb like graphene but have spin-orbit coupling and a honeycomb pattern. They also have a h…
GaN-based chargers have been introduced to the market. These chargers provide a high amount of power for the device, while still maintaining a size that is reasonable, and even take up less space than the traditional chargers. Gallium Nitride, or GaN…
The powder boron is available in four variants. These are hexagonal boron, rhombohedral and cubic boron. The most common boron nitride produced is white graphite, which has a structure similar to graphite. The need to increase battery capacity, impro…
Is boron a metal? Boron powder is not a metal, and boron is a solid non-metal because it does not have the general characteristics of metals. Boron is the only non-metallic element with an outermost layer of less than 4 electrons. The element has bot…
Modern industry cannot function without ultrafine alumina. Alumina powders with ultrafine or fine grain have a different surface electronic structure, and crystal structure, which results in surface effects, and smaller sizes, that cannot be found in…
British media have reported that scientists made a major discovery - the conversion from radio signals into electricity. Popularly speaking, this is power generation via WiFi! We may see battery-free phones and battery-free laptops in the future. Mo…
Spherical tungsten powder has many applications. The spherical powder of tungsten is widely used as a powder metalurgical material in many industries. Following are some key application areas for spherical titanium powder: Hard alloy manufacturin…
What is Zinc Sulfide a Crystalline Ion? Having just received my first zinc sulfide (ZnS) product I was keen to know if it's a crystalline ion or not. In order to answer this question I conducted a variety of tests that included FTIR spectra, insolubl…
Researchers from St. Petersburg State University in Russia have developed a new type of polymer-based solid battery that can be charged in a few seconds. This new type of battery "excellent performance" in the case of fast charging and low ...…
