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 is a getter, in the electric vacuum method, as hydrogen source for metal foam production, and as source of pure hydrogen. Also, it can be found in powder metallurgy and metal-ceramic sealing to provide titanium to the alloy.…
Boron carbide is also known as black Diamond. It has a molecular structure of B4C. The powder is typically grayish. It is one the hardest materials known (the other two being diamond and cubic boronnitride), which can be found in many industrial appl…
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 and a honeycomb pattern. They also have a honeyc…
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-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 continue "hot". It is a form of allotrope carbon that consists of one layer of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional, he…
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…
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…
GaN is a semiconductor material of third generation with a large forbidden-band width. It has superior properties compared to first-generation Si or second-generation GaAs. GaN devices, due to the large band gaps and high thermal conductivity of GaN…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is a white, grayish, or white-grayish atomic crystal that belongs to a diamond like nitride. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride, which is metal-treated, can repla…
