Molybdenum is a metal in group VI B of the periodic table with atomic number 42, an atomic weight of 95.94, and a density of 10.2 Mg/m 3. It has a melting temperature of 2610 C. The electronic ...

Metals, as most know them, are good conductors of electricity. That's because the countless electrons in a metal like gold or ...

Research led by Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin has found that metal particles from artificial joint implants can enter ...

Subduction zones are the most important sites of material exchange between the crust and mantle on Earth. They are also the ...

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can ...

The biggest challenge was finding a sufficiently flat anvil to squeeze the metal layers. The researchers eventually selected sapphire, which is very hard, and they coated it in molybdenum ...

Chinese scientists have recently achieved the fabrication of single-atom-layer metals with a thickness of merely one-millionth of an A4 paper sheet, setting a new record for the thinnest metal ...

Arthroplasty implants commonly contain metallic components, including neurotoxic elements such as cobalt and titanium. The ...

A new way to create ultra-thin layers of metals makes it possible for scientists to study a new and unusual class of 2D ...

Composed of transition metal atoms (such as tungsten, molybdenum, and selenium) and chalcogenide atoms (like sulfur or selenium), they have attracted significant attention in recent years for their ...
