Solar sails to travel between the stars. Space elevators to take satellites and astronauts into orbit without using an ounce of fuel. Lighter aircraft, helicopters, sturdy and invisible to radar. These are just some of the incredible applications of graphene, the wonder material made from a single layer of carbon atoms, in the aerospace sector. Graphene is revolutionizing not only Earth but also Space. The heat dissipation capacity of graphene allows producing ever smaller and more compet …

The term "lotus effect" refers to water repellency and self-cleaning, seen in graphic mode as a drop that is kept on a surface instead of being absorbed. The origin of this expression has to do with a flower, known as “lotus flower”, which is a scientific mystery because it has not been possible to discover why it does not get wet. The hydrophobic characteristic of the lotus flower has been imitated for useful effects of human life, being one of the main tasks of nanotechnology research.L …

Gadolinium Oxide is an inorganic compound having formula as Gd2O3. Gadolinium is most commonly found in nature, as it is part of the rare earth family. In Gd2O3, Gd has a degree of oxidation of three, quite common in the compounds of this element. From this compound, the pure metal can be extracted at a zero-oxidation state. Gadolinium (III) chloride (GdCl3) can also be synthesized from gadolinium oxide. In this form, gadolinium can be used as a contrast element for magnetic resonance ima …

The development of nanotechnology has also increased the growth and development of Nanocalcite, which is an element or material that helps to restore and improve various industrial areas such as pharmaceuticals, dentistry, and more. At this point, it is important to understand the definition and scope of Nanocalcite. It is the term used to describe a chemical compound represented by the formula CaCO³ which comprises three vital elements, that is, carbon, oxygen, and calcium. Star …

Titanium carbide (TiC) is an extremely hard refractory ceramic, the only carbide in the titanium–carbon system, with a hardness of 9 to 9.5 on the Mohs scale that rivals tungsten carbide. In nanoparticle form, below 100 nanometers, its large specific surface area and high purity make it more reactive and more effective across coatings, cutting tools, and emerging energy and electronics applications. This guide explains what titanium carbide nanoparticles are, their structure and propertie …
