The titanium hydride used is a getter, in the electric vacuum method, a hydrogen source for metal foam production, a pure hydrogen source, in metal-ceramic sealing, powder metallurgy and to provide titanium to the alloy. Titanium Hydride is brittl…
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), which are used in many industrial ap…
What is Hafnium Carbide and Tantalum Carbide? Tantalum carbide is a brown powder of metal cubic crystals that belongs to the sodium chloride system. The tantalum carbide used today is a sintered cemented carbide grain growth inhibitor. This has an im…
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…
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 their high thermal conductivity and large band gaps, c…
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 an allotrope in the form a single layer in a hexagonal, two-dimensional grid in which each verte…
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…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is an atomic-crystal belonging to a diamondlike nitride. It has hexagonal structure and wurtzite crystalline structure. Non-toxic, it's white or grayish. Aluminum nitride for…
SLS Nylon Powder PrintingNylon sintering (selective laser sintering) is a project that uses spread powder sticks to tile a thick layer of powder materials, such as 3D printed metal powders, on parts. It is heated below the powder melting temperature…
Modern industry cannot function without ultrafine alumina. Alumina powders with ultrafine or fine-grained grains have a surface electronic and crystal structure that is different from macroscopic objects. This leads to surface effects, small sizes, a…
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…
