Scientific community has long been fascinated by boron nitride due to its unique properties: sturdy, ultra-thin transparent, insulating and lightweight. The boron is a material that can be used by a wide range of researchers. According to researcher…
Boron has been a major name in the world of chemistry. There have been two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry for the work done on boron. There are a few heat-resistant products on the market that have added boric acids to common glass. This means the glas…
The titanium hydride used is a getter for the electric vacuum, a hydrogen source to make metal foams, a source of pure hydrogen and in powder metallurgy and metal-ceramic sealing to provide titanium to the alloy. Titanium Hydride is very fragile a…
Boron carbide is also known as black Diamond. It has a molecular formula of B4C. The powder is typically grayish. It is one the three hardest materials known (the other two being diamond and cubic boronnitride). It can be found in many industrial app…
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. As an example, mol…
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…
He believes that the graphene market in China, from a business perspective, is not "hot enough" to "reduce" the fever, and should remain "hot". It is an allotrope in which a single layer (atoms) of carbon forms a hexagonal, two-dimensional grid in…
Modern industry cannot function without ultrafine alumina. Alumina powders with ultrafine or fine grain have a different surface electronic structure, and their crystal structure has also changed. The result is surface effects, and smaller sizes, whi…
British media have reported that scientists made a major discovery - the conversion from radio signals to electricity. Popularly speaking, this is power generation via WiFi! We may see battery-free phones and battery-free laptops in the future. MoS2…
What is Hafnium Carbide and Tantalum Carbide? Tantalum carbide is a brown powdered metal cubic of the sodium chloride system. The tantalum carbide used today is a sintered cemented carbide grain growth inhibitor. This has an important effect in suppr…
Flexible electronics can benefit from ultra-thin materials of atomic thickness, which are used for manufacturing microprocessors. Recent breakthroughs have been made in this area by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, and the…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is a white or grayish-white atomic crystal that belongs to a diamond like nitride. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride, which is metal-treated, can replace tantalu…
