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 and a honeycomb pattern. They also have a h…
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 their high thermal conductivity and large band gaps, can…
He believes that the graphene market in China, from a business perspective, is not "hot enough" to "reduce fever", but should continue "hot". It is an allotrope in which a single layer (atoms) of carbon forms a hexagonal, two-dimensional grid in wh…
British media have reported that scientists made a major discovery - the conversion from radio signals into electricity. Popularly speaking, this is power generation via WiFi! We may see battery-free phones and battery-free laptops in a not-too-dista…
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…
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…
What is aluminium nitride (AlN)?Aluminum nitride (a covalent-bond compound) is an atomic-crystal belonging to a diamondlike nitride. It has hexagonal crystals, a wurtzite structure, and is non-toxic. Aluminum nitride formula AlN. Aluminum nitride, wh…
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…
Alumina fibers have lower thermal conductivity, heat shrinkage and heat capacity. The long-term use temperature is 1300 ~ 1400 deg C, higher than ordinary aluminum silicate fiber (1000 ~ 1100 deg C). It has good chemical stability and can be used in…
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…
