Abstract: Growing interest in space propulsion underscores the importance of developing radiation shielding for sensitive electronic systems that can no longer rely on the Earth’s atmosphere for ...

Liquid metal-activated boron nitride flakes for electromagnetic wave absorption and thermal management. The mechanochemical modification creates abundant interfacial polarization centers for efficient ...

Boron, component 5 on the table of elements, exists in multiple allotropic types, with crystalline and amorphous powders being the most industrially appropriate. Crystalline boron normally embraces a ...

Developing high-density neutron shielding material using surfactant-stabilized boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT). (Nanowerk News) High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and ...

High-energy cosmic radiation damages cells and DNA, causing cancer, and secondary neutrons—generated especially from the planetary surfaces—can be up to 20 times more harmful than other radiations.

In the left image, the conventional BNNT films-produced using randomly packed BNNTs-has a low density, making the film brittle and prone to breakage. In contrast, the developed BNNT liquid ...

New gasket tech boosts safety and efficiency in PEM fuel cells and water electrolyzers by strengthening mechanical support and improving gas-tight sealing. (Nanowerk News) A research team in South ...

At last week’s Functional Fabric Fair in Portland, Oregon, (November 13–14), Italian companies BeDimensional and Windtex Vagotex introduced BeLeaf, a jointly developed thermoregulating membrane.
