Researchers from TPU's Youth Laboratory of Advanced Materials in the Energy Industry have synthesized a superhard material ...

A new material on Han’s radar is amorphous boron nitride (a-BN). “The amorphous phase was made by chance by a SAIT and Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) research team ...

Rust-resistant coating for 2D semiconductors; polymeric material for data storage and encryption; quantum-secure deep ...

The first X-ray strain measurements in amorphous metals allow for new understanding of complex glassy materials. Amorphous materials such as glass fibres and bulk metallic glasses are widely used ...

Enter amorphous boron nitride (a-BN). "We wanted to get away from using water in the process so we started thinking about what sort of 2D materials we can make that do not use water in its ...

Metalloid metallic glasses are formed with combinations of metals such as iron, cobalt, and nickel with metalloids such as boron, silicon, carbon, and phosphorous. Selecting amorphous metals requires ...

Materials such as polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), acrylics (PMMA), acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are said to be amorphous thermoplastics. This signifies that ...

TU Delft scientists used plasma treatment with boron (PTB) to build heterojunction solar cells relying on a hole transport ...

EnPV GmbH has developed a TOPCon solar cell concept featuring a novel type of back contact technology. The cell can ...

Despite clearly not being a metal — and not a glass either; glasses are amorphous solids, while ceramics are crystalline — AlON and the other transparent ceramics that have been developed ...

The amorphous magnetic layer consists of common elements such as silicon (Si), boron (B), phosphorus (P) and copper (Cu). Manufacturing equipment for amorphous ribbon developed based on A-STEP ...
