Metals can react with water, acid and oxygen. The reactivity of the metal determines which reactions the metal participates in. Watch this video to see a practical investigation into the ...

Metals mostly occur as compounds in rocks and minerals and must be extracted before they can be used. The method used to extract the pure metal depends on its position in the reactivity series ...

Deep space applications require lightweight alloys that can perform at cryogenic temperatures. Here, in-situ neutron diffraction reveals stress partitioning and continuous strain hardening in an ...

You have to try." Following a further launch next year, the company plans to develop ways to mine near-Earth asteroids for the valuable, concentrated metals some contain – particularly the ...
