Once a humble industrial workhorse, titanium is now at the heart of a great-power strategic contest. While it rarely grabs ...

Many cyclists won’t need much persuading that their next bike should be titanium. Bikes made of the metal are highly desirable for their raw metal looks and fabled ride quality. But, although these ...

The continuous use of fossil fuels is one of the main factors that intensify global warming and environmental pollution. In addition, the depletion of non-renewable resources essential for the ...

Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max replace the titanium frame introduced two years ago with a new aluminum design. Here's why. Apple introduced titanium to the iPhone with the ‌iPhone‌ 15 ...

What just happened? A team of researchers at MIT, in collaboration with Georgia Tech and the Air Force Research Laboratory, has developed a new method for integrating gallium nitride (GaN) transistors ...

In an elegant fusion of art and science, researchers at Rice University have achieved a major milestone in nanomaterials engineering by uncovering how boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)—touted for their ...

In the first months of his administration, President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened due process, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. His attacks have spanned from the ...

A recent study in Advanced Materials Interfaces examined γ’-Fe₄N nitride layers, formed on iron, as a potential barrier against hydrogen permeation. Using a simple gas nitriding process at 570 °C, ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...

Dummy models for the device varied too, with some leaning into the brown angle, while others were more gold. It turns out, none of them captured the final product all that well. I’ve been trying to ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors can now be grown without ammonia, a toxic chemical that needs a sophisticated detoxifying system before it can be released into the atmosphere. The new technique ...
