A new type of transparent metal could one day replace the glass in our smart devices, or be used for other groundbreaking ...

Transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx), a real material despite its sci-fi name, is incredibly hard and resistant to scratches, ...

The researchers applied microdroplets of acidic solution onto small aluminum surfaces and applied an electric current, ...

Raw aluminium readily forms a tough oxide layer when exposed to air, which protects the metal from further corrosion or reactions with many chemicals. This oxide layer can form incredibly quickly ...

The researchers made transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx) by applying microdroplets of acidic solution onto ordinary aluminum ...

Sodium aluminate forms through the chemical reaction of aluminum oxide with sodium hydroxide and water, as follows: The residues sink gradually to the bottom of the tank and are later removed. In the ...

Aluminum doesn’t solder well, and that’s because of the oxide layer that rapidly forms on the surface. [Ted]’s solution is to scour the aluminum with some mineral oil. The goal is to scrape ...

Researchers from the Ateneo de Manila University and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology made transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx) by applying microdroplets of acidic solution onto ordinary ...

Aluminum's unique properties, such as low density, high conductivity, and excellent corrosion resistance, make it a versatile material used across various industries. The article highlights its ...

(aq) \rightarrow \mathbf{4}Al\, (s) + \mathbf{3}O_{2}\, (g)\) The equation shows you that for every two moles of aluminium oxide oxidised, four moles of aluminium metal are obtained along with ...

The cover sheet is based on cyclic-olefin copolymers (COC), to which a powder of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was added at different concentrations. COC are polymers with exceptional mechanical ...
