Sentences with phrase «from hafnium»

Not exact matches

From indium touchscreens to hafnium - equipped moonships, the nether regions of the periodic table underpin modern technology — but supplies are getting scarce

Nuclear reactors utilize control rods made from elements such as cadmium, boron or hafnium, all of which are efficient neutron absorbers.

A Cologne working group involving Prof. Carsten Münker and Dr. Elis Hoffmann and their student Sebastian Viehmann (working with Prof. Michael Bau from the Jacobs University Bremen) have managed for the first time to determine the isotope composition of the rare trace elements Hafnium and Neodymium in 2.7 - billion - year - old seawater by using high purity chemical sediments from Temagami Banded Iron Formation (Canada) as an archive.

Hafnium - based insulators are now used in the 45 - nanometer generation of chips made by Intel, shown here below a chip from 1993.

Producing hafnium oxide transistors would require chipmakers to add multiple new steps to the manufacturing process — in part because the electrodes must be fashioned from metal, instead of from a form of silicon, to remain compatible with the hafnium.

A few years ago, DARPA, which prides itself on promoting far - out projects, proposed spending $ 30 million on a «hafnium bomb,» a type of nuclear weapon intended to release energy from atomic nuclei without either fission or fusion, using an approach similar to how energy is extracted from electrons in a laser.
