An international team of scientists led by Artem Oganov, head of the Computational Materials Discovery Lab at MIPT, has proven that technetium carbide does not exist—it was pure technetium that was ...

Magnesium has a number of potential advantages when it comes to engineering. It is considered the lightest of structural metals (those capable of bearing loads in buildings and cars) and it is the ...

Transition metal carbides (TMCs) occupy a unique position in heterogeneous catalysis, combining metallic conductivity with covalent character to enable efficient activation of small molecules. Their d ...

A team led by researchers has created a super-strong yet light structural metal with extremely high specific strength and modulus, or stiffness-to-weight ratio. To create the super-strong but ...

Diborides and carbides of transition metal elements, including zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), and tantalum (Ta), which are important members of the UHTCs family, exhibit good ablation resistance under ...

A recent FT report reveals that Chinese scrap traders have been actively pursuing tungsten supplies in the US since early 2025, preying on a global shortage caused by declining mine output and strong ...
