How do you design industrial tools that can top the most heavy-duty diamond-tipped devices? Easy: you create a new material that's even harder than diamond. "Ultrahard nanotwinned cubic boron nitride, ...
Researchers combine diamond and cubic boron nitride with a novel alloying process for a superhard material. Diamonds are forever, except when they oxidize while cutting through iron, cobalt, nickel, ...
Out of the many boron nitride (BN) structural forms, cubic-BN (c-BN) nanodots (NDs) offer the potential for a variety of new opportunities across a plethora of applications. Until now, experimental ...
Every discipline has its holy grail. For Siddha Pimputkar, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, it ...
IN a previous communication I reported on the investigation of the system vanadium pentoxide–phosphorus pentoxide 1. A similar method has been applied in the examination of the system vanadium ...
