Not exact matches

Niobium explorer Cradle Resources has recommended shareholders accept a takeover offer from joint venture partner Tremont Investments, which values the target at $ 55 million.

The plan calls for using four pairs of «test masses» made of at least three different materials — such as beryllium, niobium and platinum - iridium — which would be kept in a vacuum and cooled to just a few kelvins, reducing temperature fluctuations that can degrade measurement accuracy.

Kept at minus 456 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature at which niobium conducts electricity without losses, these cavities will power a highly energetic electron beam that will create up to 1 million X-ray flashes per second — more than any other current or planned X-ray laser.

Each one is a quartz sphere the size of a Ping - Pong ball, smooth to within a millionth of an inch and coated with the metal niobium, which is superconducting at liquid helium temperatures.

One future avenue of research for Vinokur and his colleagues will be to raise the temperature at which their niobium titanium nitrite compound transitions into the superinsulating state.

They did so by adjusting the niobium doping of the semiconductor and thus the potential landscape at the interface.

At room temperature, niobium does not superconduct, and accelerometers around the ring measured that it was spinning at a constant ratAt room temperature, niobium does not superconduct, and accelerometers around the ring measured that it was spinning at a constant ratat a constant rate.

When the tip of the microscope oscillates over certain surfaces, in this case over NbSe2 (niobium selenide), peaks of «dissipation» (i.e., loss of energy) can be seen when the tip is at specific distances from the surface, as if it were held back, at certain locations, by some frictional force.
