As computer chips continue to get smaller and more complex, the ultrathin metallic wires that carry electrical signals within these chips have become a weak link. Standard metal wires get worse at ...

A method of covering iron with brass, copper, &c., has long been known, but to cover it and make the copper unite with the iron, like tinned iron, has hitherto been considered problematical.

Discover the intricate process of hammered degh polish and tin coating, as we bring copper and brass pots to life with a brilliant shine. Learn the secrets behind making these beautiful metalworks ...

Instead, they produce them with a continuous copper or nickel flashing or coating, that they cover with tin or silver. The flashing is necessary because the tin coating will not adhere to the aluminum ...

With gold, copper or tin and special galvanizing processes, scientists are improving the function of semi-conductors and making the manufacture of microelectronic systems a child's play ...

Copper is the hot metal for investors thanks to a 38% price rise over the last 12 months, an increase matched by tin which could soon outperform copper.

The use of copper as an alternative electrode material to silver would reduce the cost of conductive inks. Nevertheless, copper nanowire conductors face a serious bottleneck for future practical use ...

By using advanced material-processing techniques, ORNL researchers developed a copper/carbon-nanotube composite with lower resistivity, higher current capacity, and improved tensile ...

If you aren’t familiar with heatsinks, they’re typically made of copper or aluminum, two metals that serve as thermal conductors. They often come with several metal fins that pull and spread ...
