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 boric acid added to the glass. This means the glass wi…
The titanium hydride used as a getter is also used to make metal foams, as well as to provide high-purity hydrogen. It can also be found in powder metallurgy and metal-ceramic sealing to supply the alloy powder with titanium. Titanium Hydride is b…
Boron carbide is also known as black Diamond. It has a molecular structure 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 a…
In recent years, transition metal dichalcogenide was one of the key two-dimensional quantum functional material in the world. These materials have a honeycomb like graphene but have spin-orbit coupling that allows them to exhibit novel properties. As…
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…
At the moment, there is a view that graphene's ongoing fever in China is overdone.In the view of zhao meng, deputy secretary general of the China international graphene industrial resources alliance, the market decides whether graphene should continu…
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 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…
GaN is a semiconductor material of third-generation with a large forbidden-band width. It has superior properties compared to first-generation Si, and second-generation GaAs. GaN devices, due to the large band gaps and high thermal conductivity of G…
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…
