Your average thermal paste is a colloid—a liquid with solid particles in suspension—with tiny grains of aluminium oxide ...

In the lab Researchers at TU Wien employed noncontact atomic force microscopy and computational modelling to determine the structure of the aluminium oxide surface. (Courtesy: TU Wien) Determining the ...

Originally developed for electric cars, nowadays they supply mobile phone antennas with electricity, and tomorrow perhaps ...

Metals which react with steam form the solid metal oxide and hydrogen gas. In general, the more reactive the metal, the more rapid the reaction. Aluminium is unusual, because it is a reactive ...
