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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...

Scientists have categorized 18 different types of ice so far, each with its own unique crystalline structure and unique arrangement of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Now another, by the name of ice ...

In a nutshell Researchers developed copper-doped titanium dioxide nanofiber mats that float on water and use natural sunlight, not UV lamps, to break down pollutants. These “floating blankets” ...

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.
