The idea of making your own semiconductors from scratch would be more attractive if it weren’t for the expensive equipment and noxious chemicals required for silicon fabrication. But simple ...
THIN films, a few thousand angstroms thick or less, of various inorganic materials can be formed by the poly-crystalline condensation of the low-pressure vapour on a cool substrate. Such films are ...
The novel solution uses ultra-low concentrations of nano-sized, seawater-soluble pigments, such as cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and zinc oxide (ZnO), combined with an organic biocide and a fast-polishing ...
The overall reaction is pretty simple, but again, it hides some interesting chemical complexity: Cupric chloride attacks the metallic copper on the PCB, producing two molecules of soluble cuprous ...
Scientists discovered a link between copper regulation and neurodegeneration, using the worm gene swip-10. Their findings suggest that restoring copper balance could offer new treatments for disorders ...
The EPA has already restricted uses of a fifth pesticide included in the lawsuit — cuprous iodide — to protect endangered salmon and other aquatic species. “Just in time for the holidays, today’s ...
