A team of Rice University researchers mapped out how flecks of 2D materials move in liquid -- knowledge that could help scientists assemble macroscopic-scale materials with the same useful properties as their 2D counterparts. "Two-dimensional nanomaterials are extremely thin -- only several atoms thick -- sheet-shaped materials," said Utana Umezaki, a Rice graduate student who is a lead author on a study published in ACS Nano. "They behave very differently from materials we're used to in daily life and can have really useful properties: They can withstand a lot of force, resist high temperatures and so on. To take advantage of these unique properties, we have to find ways to turn them into larger-scale materials like films and fibers." In order to maintain their special properties in bulk form, sheets of 2D materials have to be properly aligned -- a process that often occurs in solution phase. Rice researchers focused on graphene, which is made up of carbon atoms, and hexagonal boron nitride, a material with a similar structure to graphene but composed of boron and nitrogen atoms.

Gallium's melting point is 29.8C (85.6F), so a chunk of it would turn to liquid on a warm summer day. Its compounds, gallium arsenide and gallium nitride, are an important part of semiconductors.

@casperwyomingxer submitted: This friendly green shield bug (Palomena prasina) in my UK garden left this mysterious red liquid on my hand. Is it possible to know what this liquid is in terms of its chemistry (something general like nitride or aldehyde would be good enough, though it would be great to know what causes the colour red as well) and its biological function? Like is the liquid its waste or defensive fluid?

I was pretty excited about smelling a stink bug for the first time and was disappointed that the liquid did not smell lol.

Some people can't smell the stink at all! I know I can't. It's defensive, but I'm afraid I know nothing about the chemical makeup.

Subject Classification: M-08-035

Damage Type: Null ⚪️

Danger Level: HELFER 🔵

Anomaly Type: Mineral

Discovery Classification: Expedition (08)

Department: MOTHRA Storage Facilities

Lead Researcher: Dr. Ironclad

Identification: Titanic Metal

Containment: ANM-035 bars are stored in different warehouses of the MOTHRA Institution. The "containment" must have a temperature regulator where the ambient temperature must remain at 22°C, never exceeding 120°C. If this happens, the emergency alarm should be activated immediately.

Titanic metal bars can be used to build secure cells for complex anomalies, materials or weapons, protective gear, and other related uses advantageous to MOTHRA.

Description: As of the writing of this file, ANM-035 is a set of 800 bars of a type of metal nicknamed "Titanic Metal." While its original color was white, it was observed that the metal bars could change to blue over time, a process similar to copper, which also makes the ore even more resistant.

The ANM-035 bars are extremely durable, being 60 times stronger than common metal, 49 times more resistant than tungsten, and 20 times more resistant than graphene. Upon further analysis, a significant mix of graphene atoms and hexagonal boron nitride was detected in the metal.

Regarding its durability, some tests were conducted:

Over 100 strikes with a machete were made against the bar, resulting in no scratches.

Some shots were fired at the bar, but the test was quickly canceled when it was noticed that the bullets ricocheted back.

ANM-014 attempted to break the bar but, after several strikes, complained that his "hand hurt." (ANM-014 typically manages to break titanium bars in half.)

ANM-035 was dropped from an airplane at an altitude of 12,000 meters, and the bar suffered no damage, though the surrounding environment did sustain significant damage.

ANM-032 was set to try piercing the bar with its beak. The instance failed to do so.

Multiple RPG shots followed by explosions were tested, but the bar remained unaffected.

A tank rolled over the bar several times, but nothing happened to it.

Finally, it was discovered that if ANM-035 is exposed to a temperature above 70°C, the ore tends to melt into an extremely corrosive and radioactive liquid.

ANM-035 can be used to create more powerful tools, utensils, and weapons (only melee weapons). A shield made from ANM-035 was built and is completely bulletproof and resistant to various other blows or attacks. Additionally, armor was constructed, and together with the shield, they are capable of repelling numerous attacks, including pecks from ANM-032 or attacks from humanoid ANMs.

The bars typically measure 55cm in length and 25cm in height, weighing approximately 500kg. All were found in a military bunker dating back to World War II in the USA.

Calcium sulphur batteries (uwu)

Okay, so, i've become interested in z-pinch studies for aerospace purposes (i'm really excited about the prospects, everything works on paper, but i naturally want to actually witness p+N14 fusion for above 0.01% of available protons before i go trying to get the materials to build a real liquid fueled SSTO fusion rocket, especially since there are thousands of folks way smarter than me who have presumably thought of this before and we don't have it yet, so yeah). Anyways, if i want the extremely large electricity input without making my electricity bill higher than a whole month's rent and getting my roommates mad at me, i'll need to collect solar or wind in a battery bank. Since lithium batteries are just about all immoral and expensive (yes i am writing this on a device powered by lithium batteries, it would be lovely if capitalists would take a hint and switch to things that just objectively perform better and are cheaper, but whatever), i figured this would be a nice excuse to experiment around with some new battery designs. Since all of them will require sulphur, i won't be able to really get into it before mid may due to some concerns about the smell and risks of getting sulphur powder everywhere (it's very yellow and hard to clean out), but i felt i might as well share my preliminary ideas. First off, in order to make the organic sulphur polymer, i'm looking to explore mostly citrate based polymers, perhaps with phenylalanine mixed in in order to both give more bulk as well as providing nitrogens for sulphenamides to form. Since i'll need urea later, i was also considering partially polymerizing urea with citric acid and adding that into the molten sulphur mix, but i'm less confident in the stability of that and a bit concerned about the potential noxious fumes produced. Regardless, that's the short of the sulphur cathode, details will definitely change after i refind that paper which went over a great way of preventing insoluble polysulphide production. I'm also gonna experiment with anode material and even the ions i use. I know i said "calcium sulphur batteries" in the title, but due to how common aluminium is and how much easier magnesium is to work with (and the fact that their specific energies are higher), i'll also be considering those two. Even beyond that, there are so many potential anode materials, including even amorphous carbon and carbon nitrides which i'd love to test since there's just so much to improve on and i'd rather do a lot of experiments with cheap to make materials and potentially land on a great solution than accept something subpar because it took less effort. Anyways, of the materials i plan on using, there's magnesium sulphate, aluminium sulphate, calcium chloride, potentially other calcium salts (is the salt with taurine soluble in water? IDK, can't find an answer so i'll test it), charcoal, vegetable oil, urea, and phenylalanine. Those may seem like an unrelated hodgepodge of compounds, but they've been chosen because they're what i have/will soon have and they're also all extremely cheap. If the urea works out well in the battery, i may have to make this project a meme and attempt to make a z-pinch device with as much urine as possible (use it to make ammonia for the plasma, to make the batteries, and i'm sure there's some way to use urine in a capacitor (maybe just distilling off the water to use as a dielectric? idk, it's been a while since i tried making a capacitor)).

Anyway, i really didn't expect this long trainwreck of a post to end with discussions of urine, but what can you do? This is all probably nonsensical, even by my standards, but basically i want batteries and i think i can make them cheaper per megajoule of stored energy than the ones i could buy, even accounting for the inevitable failed experiments.

Boron nitride tube - BN thermocouple protection sleeve/molten metal conveying pipe

Due to the characteristics of high heat resistance, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, good corrosion resistance, etc., boron nitride tubes can be used as thermocouple protection sleeves in the special metal smelting industry. They can be directly inserted into the molten metal liquid to measure the temperature inside the molten metal, and can continuously measure the temperature of the molten metal, avoiding the previous corundum temperature measuring protection sleeves that are easy to break during rapid heating and can only be monitored intermittently; at the same time, due to the good thermal conductivity of boron nitride, its temperature control accuracy is better.

Due to the extremely low thermal expansion coefficient and good corrosion resistance of boron nitride, pipes processed with hot-pressed boron nitride materials can also be used as molten liquid metal conveying pipes, molten metal pipes, pump parts, cast steel molds, etc.

Edgetech Industries Advanced Ceramics Division supplies high-quality advanced ceramics including Boron Nitride, Aluminum Nitride, Alumina, Zirconia, Silicon Nitride, Silicon Carbide ceramics, etc. to meet different application needs.

Science from my tf AU

Transformers is a wonderful franchise to have a special interest on, because it has a shitlot of stuff you can deepdive into! Like, an actual shitlot. There is something for everything. But it's sometimes not specific enough in a cool way. Gives space for your own imagination ùwú so I took that opportunity.

Cybertron and its solar system. I collected my data with the help of ChadGPT, who suggested cool formulas and scientific explanations / backgrounds for stuff.

So, it exists with an A-type star on an ellipse around it with enormous distance. There are also a few lava or gas giants closer to the star - much like ours is called Sun btw, theirs is Diurnaeden, or Diurna/l Eden in common language. Did I cook or cringe. Their main lunar body is Nocturaeden slash Nocturna/l Eden. They used to have a religion before Primus, where they had worshipped energies. Cybertronian paganism go brr.

Their days last around 400 days on Terra despite Cybertron being relatively small. It rotates pretty slowly. Usually we say solar cycle for day and stellar cycle for year but I go with stellar cycle for day instead. Though some may call daytime the solar cycle, standard is diurnal phase. Now, their year lasts like 1200 years for us - a century, thus they call it a saecula /-r cycle. That happened because I had my mech be old as shit, but that would make the entire race stupidly slow. They count their age in what is a day for us. Also, recharge takes up a lot of time...

That star is extremely radioactive due to its A-class, right? Well, in this AU, nuclear energy is everything. Cybertron's core contains a core-core that's composed of all radioactive elements there are (don't ask i think it's epic) which the Cybertronians canon as Primus' spark. Primus isn't real in my AU btw.

Energon us the name for their and the planet's life force, Boron Nitride. It gets irradiated in the core, where it travels in liquid form, and as it leaves the high temperature environment, it becomes jelly, until it eventually crystallizes. That's what the miners mine.

Like in TF1, they live under the surface (Epifanéa), but here, it's due to Diurneden's radiation that would do heavy damage in direct exposure. And based on Plato's cave theory, there are four levels with their original names: Eikasia and Pistis in the sublevels of Doxa, where the core resides and the Vector Sigma above; followed by Dionaia and Episteme in the upper section Noesis where energon is mined and finally, Cybertronians reside.

Epifanéa is really pretty though, just like in TF1. The landscapes, the vibrancy of colours - ethereal because of Diurneden's brightness. The rather thin atmosphere consists of hydrogen, methane and agron, creating a pretty sky that looks like an aurora borealis but is still see-through even at daytime.

Those are basics of the planet. Further additions will follow surely

Scientists develop efficient artificial photosynthesis system to convert CO2 into ethylene for sustainable fuels and plastics production

- By Nuadox Crew -

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an advanced artificial photosynthesis system capable of efficiently converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into ethylene, a hydrocarbon widely used in plastics production.

The system, which uses gallium nitride nanowires on a silicon base and copper clusters as catalysts, achieved field-leading performance in efficiency, yield, and longevity. It converts CO2 and water into ethylene by harnessing sunlight, reaching an electron conversion efficiency of 61%. Notably, the device operated for 116 hours without performance degradation, outperforming competing systems.

The long-term goal is to produce liquid fuels by chaining more carbon atoms together, which could help reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The research, supported by the U.S. Army Research Office, has potential applications in creating sustainable fuels and plastics while reducing CO2 emissions. The team has applied for a patent and is working on licensing the technology through a startup, NX Fuels.

The Demand for Silicon Nitride Ceramic Bearing Balls

The strong covalent connection between silicon and nitrogen forms silicon nitride (Si3N4). It is a ceramic substance that has been mass-produced. The main challenge in the creation and use of silicon nitride ceramics, like with other covalently linked ceramic materials, is the product's sintering densification. As a result, certain sintering aids must be added, and liquid phase sintering must be used to finish the densification process. Different sintering aids and sintering procedures can be used to generate silicon nitride ceramic materials with various complete characteristics. Silicon Nitride Balls offers exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, high temperatures, and thermal shock because of its covalent bonding mechanism. Simultaneously, silicon nitride columnar crystals' distinct interwoven microstructure increases their hardness, which is why silicon nitride ceramics are widely employed in the military, aerospace, national defense, and other industries.

Silicon Nitride Balls China are superior to standard steel balls in that they are low density, highly temperature resistant, self-lubricating, and corrosion resistant. They are primarily utilized in petrochemical corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant bearings, car bearings, wind turbine insulation bearings, and machine tool precision bearings, among other applications. Furthermore, silicon nitride shafts' insulation makes them ideal for usage in electric cars and other industries. The need for silicon nitride ceramic bearing balls to be used in conjunction with insulating bearings, main shaft bearings for wind turbines, and bearings for aerospace engines has increased significantly with the development of high-end equipment manufacturing and new clean energy, particularly in the wind power and aerospace industries.

Ceramics offer better hardness, resistance to corrosion, and stable chemical characteristics than metal bonds because covalent bonds have larger bond energy than metal bonds. However, ceramics are not as robust. While atomic crystals lack this feature, metal bonding contain a cloud of unbound electrons surrounding them. As a result, ceramics are nonconductive and have greater thermal insulation properties than metals. Although silicon nitride ceramics from Silicon Nitride Balls Manufacturer have a thermal expansion coefficient that is less than one-third that of steel balls and an operating temperature of up to 1000°C, their hardness is more than double that of steel balls.

Choosing Between Different Solid Dry Film Lubricants: What to Consider

Selecting the right solid dry film lubricant for your application can be a critical decision in ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your machinery or equipment. With a variety of options available, understanding the key factors and benefits of each type is essential. This article will guide you through the important considerations when choosing solid dry film lubricants, the advantages they offer, and why you should consider solid dry film lubricant services from a reputable provider like Euclid Refinishing.

What Are Solid Dry Film Lubricants?

Solid dry film lubricants are materials applied to surfaces to reduce friction and wear without the need for liquid oils or greases. These lubricants form a thin, solid layer on the substrate, providing long-lasting protection and lubrication under extreme conditions.

Types of Solid Dry Film Lubricants

Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2):

Known for its high load-bearing capabilities.

Performs well in high-pressure environments.

Offers excellent corrosion resistance.

Graphite:

Effective at high temperatures.

Provides good electrical conductivity.

Often used in aerospace and automotive applications.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene):

Known for its low coefficient of friction.

Chemically inert and non-reactive.

Suitable for a wide range of temperatures and environments.

Boron Nitride:

Excellent thermal conductivity.

Electrically insulating.

Ideal for applications requiring high thermal management.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Solid Dry Film Lubricant

Load-Bearing Capacity

One of the first factors to consider is the load-bearing capacity of the lubricant. For applications involving high loads, Molybdenum Disulfide is often the best choice due to its ability to withstand significant pressure without breaking down.

Temperature Range

The operating temperature is another critical factor. Graphite and PTFE are excellent for high-temperature environments, while Boron Nitride is preferred when thermal management is crucial.

Corrosion Resistance

If the application involves exposure to corrosive environments, choosing a lubricant with high corrosion resistance like Molybdenum Disulfide can protect the substrate from damage and extend the life of the equipment.

Electrical Conductivity

For applications requiring electrical conductivity, Graphite is the ideal choice. In contrast, if electrical insulation is needed, Boron Nitride is more suitable.

Chemical Compatibility

Ensuring the lubricant is chemically compatible with the substrate and environment is vital. PTFE is particularly notable for its chemical inertness, making it suitable for diverse applications.

Benefits of Using Solid Dry Film Lubricants

Reduced Friction and Wear: These lubricants significantly decrease friction, reducing wear and tear on components and extending their operational life.

High-Temperature Performance: Many solid dry film lubricants maintain their lubricating properties at extreme temperatures where liquid lubricants would fail.

Corrosion Protection: They provide a protective barrier against corrosion, crucial for equipment exposed to harsh environments.
