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…
The powder boron is available in four variants. These are hexagonal boron, rhombohedral (RBN), cube boron and wurtzite. The most common boron nitride produced is white graphite, which has a structure similar to graphite. The need to increase battery…
Is boron a metal?Boron powder does not belong to the metal family, and it is a solid that lacks many of the metal's characteristics. Boron has the lowest outermost electron count of any non-metallic. It is available in both amorphous (either a brown-…
How can battery researchers store and move energy more quickly, if they want to extend the life of batteries? The researchers at North Carolina State University want to solve this problem. Researchers at the North Carolina State University have devel…
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…
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…
Singer's research team discovered that molybdenum flakes can store twice as many lithium atoms or charges as previously reported. Singer added that they also discovered the high capacity lithium of these flakes doesn't last for long, and it will drop…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is an atomic-crystal belonging to a diamondlike nitride. It is non-toxic with a white or grayish white color. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride, which is metal-t…
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…
US nanotechnology plan for research and development The US investment is equivalent to the amount invested by Japan and EU countries in the research and development of Nanotechnology. This field is equivalent to the investment of Japan and EU countri…
Cement foaming machine needs auxiliary test machine to help achieve better foaming effect in construction application. Cement foaming agent is a chemical admixture, which is added to cement. Compensate for shrinkage and tension of steel bars to produ…
With the wide application of polycarboxylate superplasticizer, the requirement of concrete early strength in practical engineering is more and more prominent, so the polycarboxylate superplasticizer has been the focus of research to meet the early st…
