Electrochemical devices will play a key role as one of the solutions for the transition to renewable energy. Technologies such as water electrolyzers, fuel cells, and redox flow batteries can help achieve widespread electrification while coping with intermittent energy production. Both the cost and performance of these energy solutions have improved dramatically over the past […]
In practical applications, in addition to high thermal conductivity and high electrical insulation performance, aluminum nitride ceramic substrates are also required to have high bending strength in many fields. The three-point bending strength of aluminum nitride currently circulating in the market is usually 400~500MPa, which seriously limits the promotion and application of aluminum nitride ceramic […]
Traditional aircraft technology has many moving parts, actuators, cables, motors, lubricants, hydraulic gears, and other screws required, which all make these components take up weight and valuable space resources on any aircraft. Engineers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center are using nitinol shape memory alloys to create morphing wings. Parts made from nitinol shape memory alloys […]

Nitinol is a new type of smart material, which can restore its original shape at a specific temperature. Generally speaking, this characteristic occurs in a high temperature environment. Its superelastic effect, high resistance characteristics, elastic modulus variability at different temperatures and self-recovery function are not available in general metal materials. With the continuous innovation of […]
Tantalum is a reactive and refractory metal. The periodic table shows it between reactive metals (titanium, zirconium, and hafnium) and refractory metals (molybdenum and tungsten). Tantalum and its sister element niobium are similar to these two elements in many ways, but also have many differences. Tantalum reacts with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, reactions that […]
