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

Transparent aluminum sounds like something out of science fiction, but it’s a real material called transparent aluminum oxide ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Sparklers contain small pieces of iron. When you burn the iron it reacts with oxygen to make iron oxide, creating the sparks we see. When a sparkler has finished burning, you’ll notice that the ...
