Three fundamental factors combine to give titanium its high coefficient of friction and cause the poor tribological behaviour of the metal. The first arises from titanium’s atomic structure, and this ...

Researchers have developed a new technique for controlling the crystalline structure of titanium dioxide at room temperature. The development should make titanium dioxide more efficient in a range ...

Controlling the crystal structures of metal oxyhydroxides is the key for their applications, but this is often limited by the difficulties of analyzing these beam-sensitive nanomaterials.

The team found that the titanium atom in each BaTiS3 crystal exists in what is known as a double-well potential -- that is, there are two spatial locations in the atomic structure where the atom ...

Complementing these studies, the crystal structure refinement of schüllerite has offered insight into the integration of titanium within silicate layers, thereby expanding our understanding of ...

Researchers have confirmed theoretically-predicted interactions between single oxygen molecules and crystalline titanium dioxide. The results could be of importance for a variety of applications.

N thin films with record-high scandium levels, with exciting potential for ultra-low-power memory devices, as reported by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo). Using reactive ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for controlling the crystalline structure of titanium dioxide at room temperature. The development should make titanium ...

An Osaka Metropolitan University research team has found that titanium-48 changes from a shell model structure to an α-cluster structure depending on the distance from the center of the ...

Scientists from Rice University have discovered a titanium alloy that's better than titanium at being a medical implant, and it is four times harder than titanium and a vast majority of steels.

TPU researchers, together with their Russian and foreign colleagues, have developed a technology that makes it possible to ...
