Aluminum nitride (AlN) and silicon carbide (SiC) are both high-performance engineering ceramic materials, but there is a ...

It is a rocket that would be deployed in orbit or somewhere else off planet. NSWR is constructed of a bundle of boron-carbide coated pipes, each containing an aqueous solution of uranium or plutonium ...

Advanced coatings such as diamond-like carbon (DLC), tungsten carbide and plasma-enhanced ceramic ... like molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and boron nitride—provide long-term protection against ...

Like silicon, diamonds can be "doped" with certain atoms that its rigid crystal lattice will retain, such as nitrogen and boron ... including silicon carbide (SiC), a semiconductor also known ...

Dual cooling channels enable NaK-78 liquid metal flows through inner and outer fuel gaps, maintaining core temperatures below 600 degrees Celsius (1,112 Fahrenheit), while three boron carbide ...

With the recent announcement by Infineon that gallium nitride (GaN) use is reaching the “tipping point” for accelerated adoption, maybe it’s time to consider what’s next beyond wide bandgap (WBG) GaN ...

Three boron carbide safety rods and eight rotary control drums provide redundant shutdown mechanisms. China’s design can achieve sustained chain reactions with just 40.8 pounds (18.5 kg ...
