Tungsten, the preferred material for tokamak fusion reactors, poses challenges due to sputtering that cools plasma, making ...

Ken Wade recalls his own undistinguished part in the space race, and notes how carboranes revitalized boron hydride chemistry and modified our ideas of chemical bonding. In the 1950s, during the ...

We have covered some best free Photo to Sketch apps for Windows 10. With just a few mouse clicks, you can turn a photo into a sketch and then save the output. These apps don’t put a watermark on ...

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a critical nanomaterial for electronics, thermal management, and extreme conditions due to its high-temperature resistance, electrical insulation, piezoelectric ...

Boron is an essential mineral critical for the optimal functioning of the human body, playing a key role in maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and brain function. Boron supplements are ...

Despite much investigation as a rocket fuel, the full potential of boron has never been realised. It could get another chance to shine, thanks to a better understanding of the role impurities play ...

For example, a product designer trying to design new kitchen utensils may use low-density styrofoam to quickly model a handle that the designer can hold to gain a physical understanding of how the ...

This drawing of a cross section through ITER shows the pellet injection guide tubes and a sketch of a conceptual design for a boron dropper. Joseph Snipes, deputy head for Tokamak Experimental ...

Now, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have experimental results suggesting that sprinkling boron powder into the tokamak could solve the ...

Chinese scientists have achieved a breakthrough in low-temperature distillation of boron-10 isotopes to stably produce enriched boron-10 products with an abundance of 70 percent, significantly ...
