Scientists make tantalum oxide practical for high-density devices
Scientists at Rice University have created a solid-state memory technology that allows for high-density storage with a minimum incidence of computer errors. The memories are based on tantalum oxide, a common insulator in electronics. Applying voltage to a 250-nanometer-thick sandwich of graphene...Read more -
Ferro Tungsten Price Is Weak Affected by the Spread of Coronavirus
The ferro tungsten and tungsten powder prices in the Chinese market remain weak adjustment as the market lacks liquid affected by continued spread of coronavirus around the world. Many authorities have to partially reinstate lockdowns, which reduces the transactions from overseas markets. The tun...Read more -
Molybdenum and tungsten in sapphire crystal growth industry
Sapphire is a hard, wear resistant and strong material with a high melting temperature, it is chemically widely inert, and it shows interesting optical properties. Therefore, sapphire is used for many technological applications where the main industry fields are optics and electronics. Today the ...Read more -
Scientists develop the most heat-resistant material ever created
A group of scientists from NUST MISIS developed a ceramic material with the highest melting point among currently known compounds. Due to the unique combination of physical, mechanical and thermal properties, the material is promising for use in the most heat-loaded components of aircraft, such a...Read more -
A Warship Can Carry Thousands of Tungsten Alloy Bombs, And Its Combat Effectiveness Is Comparable to That of Medium-Range Missiles
A warship can carry thousands of tungsten alloy bombs, and its combat performance is comparable to that of medium-range missiles? This is sourced and will be discussed later. Presumably, the artisans should know that the United States regards the electromagnetic orbital gun as a subversive weapon...Read more -

Tungsten-fibre-reinforced tungsten
Tungsten is particularly suitable as material for highly stressed parts of the vessel enclosing a hot fusion plasma, it being the metal with the highest melting point. A disadvantage, however, is its brittleness, which under stress makes it fragile and prone to damage. A novel, more resilient com...Read more -
Researchers obtain atomically thin molybdenum disulfide films on large-area substrates
Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have managed to grow atomically thin films of molybdenum disulfide spanning up to several tens of centimeters square. It was demonstrated that the material’s structure can be modified by varying the synthesis temperature. The f...Read more -
