Responding for the craft time drawing, i'm not sure about having a stoner catto but XD

Nice design still :3c

Hafnium behaves almost identically to zirconium in chemical reactions. Where there's naturally-occurring zirconium, there's likely to be hafnium.

Researchers enhance performance of hafnia-based memory devices by doping ferroelectric materials with aluminum

A research team has significantly enhanced the data storage capacity of ferroelectric memory devices. By utilizing hafnia-based ferroelectric materials and an innovative device structure, their findings, published on June 7 in the journal Science Advances, mark a substantial advancement in memory technology. The team was led by Professor Jang-Sik Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Department of Semiconductor Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH). With the exponential growth in data production and processing due to advancements in electronics and artificial intelligence (AI), the importance of data storage technologies has surged. NAND flash memory, one of the most prevalent technologies for mass data storage, can store more data in the same area by stacking cells in a three-dimensional structure rather than a planar one. However, this approach relies on charge traps to store data, which results in higher operating voltages and slower speeds.

U.S. Hafnium Metal Prices 2025, Size, Trend, Graph, Chart and Forecast

In Q4 2024, the Hafnium Metal market in North America experienced a significant decline in prices due to multiple key factors. Increased global supply, import and export restrictions, and port congestion notably influenced market dynamics. Additionally, demand for Hafnium Metal declined across the North American market.

The USA recorded the most substantial price fluctuations, witnessing a marked decrease compared to the previous quarter. A distinct price disparity between the first and second halves of the quarter highlighted a consistent downward trend. Despite ongoing challenges, the overall pricing environment remained bearish, with prices steadily declining. By the end of the quarter, Hafnium Metal prices in the USA had dropped significantly from the beginning of the period. The market also encountered supply chain disruptions, further impacting pricing trends.

The interplay of rising supply, decreasing demand, and broader global market dynamics contributed to the overall bearish sentiment surrounding Hafnium Metal pricing in Q4 2024. The quarter-ending price for Hafnium Metal DEL Illinois (USA) stood at USD 4,330,539/MT.

Throughout Q4 2024, Hafnium Metal prices in Europe followed a downward trajectory, with Germany experiencing the most notable price fluctuations. Several factors contributed to this decline. A significant drop in demand from the aviation sector, primarily due to reduced orders from downstream industries, played a key role in price depreciation. Additionally, increased global supply led to lower production costs, further driving prices downward.

In Germany, the market faced an imbalanced supply scenario, exacerbated by the commissioning of a new casting line in a neighboring country, which improved regional supply capabilities. Despite manufacturing sector challenges, the overall market trend in Europe remained negative for Hafnium Metal prices. Prices fell compared to the previous quarter, with a slight decline between the first and second halves of the quarter. Ultimately, the quarter closed with Hafnium Metal prices in Germany reflecting a bearish market environment. The quarter-ending price for Hafnium Metal FOB Hamburg (Germany) stood at USD 3,857,350/MT.

In Q4 2024, the Hafnium Metal market in the APAC region also saw a notable price decline, influenced by various market dynamics. Supply instability, driven by increased production levels and external market conditions, significantly contributed to the price downturn. Additionally, demand weakened due to economic uncertainties and fluctuating consumer sentiment within the region.

China, as a key market player, experienced the most pronounced price changes, with a bearish trend prevailing throughout the quarter. A negative correlation between supply adjustments and price movements was observed, with minor fluctuations between the first and second halves of the quarter. Prices dipped by 3% from the previous quarter, reinforcing a bearish market environment driven by rising supply and falling demand. The quarter concluded with Hafnium Metal prices in China maintaining a downward trajectory. Additional market disruptions, including logistical challenges and supply chain adjustments, further impacted pricing. The quarter-ending price for Hafnium Metal FOB Shanghai (China) stood at USD 2,680,682/MT.

hafnium

their chemistry is near identical to zirconium but they never got sand in their eyes and are therefore boring and not full of cool crystals

Weapons based on other chemical principles. Hafnium bomb

Everyone has heard about weapons based on other physical principles, but few people have heard about bombs based on other chemical principles. Hafnium bombs are an example of this. This is also a weapon of mass destruction, but not as powerful as atomic or neutron.

And all because the bomb uses a completely different chemical element, not even close to weapons-grade plutonium.

The hafnium isomer is used as a fighting substance. For example, in the United States, in 2004, Congress allocated $ 7 billion to the Pentagon to create a miniature but powerful Ganium bomb, and this, by the way, is the price of three and a half B-2 bombers.

Whether similar developments are being conducted in other countries, most likely yes, I think both Russia and Chinese comrades, along with North Korean ones, are also working in the direction of weapons on other chemical principles. There is still an argument that motivates us to work in this direction.

Hafnium bombs are an order of magnitude more powerful than conventional bombs, the same FAB-5000 or even FAB-9000, but much weaker than a nuclear munition.

Plus, no arms limitation treaty at all includes any mention of hafnium bombs, which means that now only the lazy and not having the capabilities, both financial and technical, will not seek to acquire such ammunition.

The detonation of hafnium is very powerful, but it occurs without the process of nuclear decay. But the metropolis will get very much from such a vzyr.

Although gamma radiation still occurs during an explosion, but it dissipates very quickly, practically not infecting the area with radioactive precipitation.

Officially, no one in the world now recognizes that such ammunition is being developed. And the DARPA agency generally recognized a failure in development, but who will take their word for it that the bomb did not work, especially when they received 7 lard of money. After all, the devil's victory lies in the fact that he convinces everyone that he does not exist. So with this hafnium bomb, on other chemical principles, it is unlikely that anyone will admit to working in this direction. It's too much of a trump card up your sleeve.

Metal-organic frameworks study unravels mechanism for capturing water from air

Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and Dresden University of Technology have unraveled the water adsorption mechanism in certain microporous materials—so-called hierarchical metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—while probing them on the atomic scale. Discovered only about 25 years ago, their special properties quickly led to a reputation as "miracle materials"—which, as it turned out, can even harvest water from air. The researchers describe how the material achieves this in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. "These very special materials are highly porous solids made of metals or metal-oxygen clusters which are connected in a modular way by pillars of organic chemicals. This 3D arrangement leads to networks of cavities reminiscent of the pores of a kitchen sponge. It is precisely these cavities that we are interested in," says Dr. Ahmed Attallah of HZDR´s Institute of Radiation Physics.

Hafnium is a chemical element with the symbol Hf and atomic number 72. It is a lustrous, silvery-gray transition metal that is found in minerals such as zirconium minerals and baddeleyite. Hafnium is used in a variety of applications, including in nuclear reactors as control rods, in gas turbines and jet engines, in superalloys for aircraft and industrial gas turbines, and in electronics as a gate material for metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. Hafnium has a high melting point and excellent resistance to corrosion, making it a valuable material for high-temperature applications.
