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…
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…
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 that allows them to exhibit novel propertie…
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…
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 the form of one layer of carbon atoms, arranged in a hexagonal lattice with two di…
Modern industry cannot function without ultrafine alumina. Alumina powders with ultrafine or fine grain have a different surface electronic structure, and the crystal structure has also changed. This leads to surface effects, and smaller sizes, that…
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, laptops, and even mobile phones in the futur…
What is Hafnium Carbide and Tantalum Carbide? Tantalum carbide is a brown powdery metal cubic crystal of the sodium chloride system. The tantalum carbide used today is a sintered cemented carbide grain growth inhibitor. This has an important effect i…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is a white, grayish, or white-gray atomic crystal that belongs to a diamond like nitride. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride, which is metal-treated, can replace…
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…
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…
What is Alumina? Alumina. Chemical formula Al2O3. The ionic crystals are used to manufacture refractory materials. They have a melting and boiling point at high temperatures of 2054 deg C. Diaspore and bauxite (Al2O3*3H2O), which are both mineral…
