THE properties of pure amorphous boron form the subject of a contribution to the current number of the Comptes rendus by M. Moissan. In our chemical note of March 3 (p. 421), the method was described ...

The preparation of dense Si 3 N 4-based ceramics has attracted great attention due to the achievable improvements in mechanical properties and high-temperature oxidation resistance. In general, the ...

The team at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) has announced the discovery of new material — amorphous boron nitride (a-BN), in collaboration with Ulsan National Institute of Science and ...

Samsung has announced the joint discovery of a new material called amorphous boron nitride (a-BN). Its researchers at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) worked with the Ulsan National ...

A sodium-doped, transition metal-free amorphous SiBN ceramic, composed of silicon (Si), boron (B), and nitrogen (N), was designed for small molecule activation and catalysis. The strategic ...

Thermal superinsulation materials, which have low thermal conductivities, are necessary for protection and thermal insulation in adverse conditions. Such materials are especially needed in fields such ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

A study published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition by researchers from Nagoya Institute of Technology, the University of Limoges, and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras explores the ...

Electronics engineers continually look for better insulating materials to use in their projects. Finding the right ones leads to a longer product lifespan, along with improved performance and reduced ...
