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…
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…
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…
Four types of boron-nitride are available in powder form: hexagonal (HBN), cube (CBN), rhombohedral (RBN), and wurtzite (WBN). The most common boron nitride produced is white graphite, which has a structure similar to graphite. The need to increase b…
Is boron a metal?Boron powder does not belong to the metal family, nor does boron as a solid. It lacks many of the properties that metals have. Boron has the lowest outermost electron count of any non-metallic. It is available in both amorphous (like…
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 a hexagonal, two-dimensional grid of atoms where one atom makes up each ver…
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 - converting radio waves into electricity. This is commonly referred to as power generation via WiFi! We may see battery-free phones and battery-free laptops in the future. MoS2, whi…
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 the high lithium capacity of these flakes does not last long and will fall after five charges, a behavior similar to a lithium-sulfur battery which uses sulfur as one electrode. Singer added that they also disco…
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…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is a crystalline atom belonging to a diamond like nitride. It has hexagonal crystals, a wurtzite structure, and is non-toxic. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride,…
December 19 - Major Dutch energy suppliers are raising prices for next year, with Eneco, Vattenfall and EnNatuurlijk nearly doubling heating prices. Eneco even went as high as €90 per gigajoule (GJ), the maximum price set by the Dutch Consumer a…
