Nobody ever said thievery was a safe job. But high copper prices are tempting some folks to a particularly dangerous score—high-voltage electrical equipment. In a recent letter to the European Journal ...

Chinese researchers have published a new non-peer reviewed paper on their sulfur copper doped led apatite room temperature superconductor. They have increased the Meissner effect signal. Supplemental ...

Diamonds have always been associated with beauty, luxury, and high-end living. But now, thanks to a brand new American study, diamonds may play a crucial role in the future development nanowires.

Nornickel’s most ambitious environmental initiative, The Sulphur Project, aimed at radically improving the environment in its regions of operations, was launched at Nornickel’s Copper Plant on the ...

Copper has high electrical and thermal conductivity and hence is considered to be a very useful metal. It occurs abundantly in nature and is affordably priced. The metal is employed in a number of ...

Stanford University researchers with help for the US Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have created a new self-assembly process that that uses something called diamondoids to ...

For the first time, chemists have broken specific bonds by squeezing a crystal. The researchers squeezed crystals of copper(I) m-carborane-9-thiolate (Cu-S-M9) in a diamond anvil cell. At 12 ...

Disruptions caused by the coronavirus crisis have pushed up prices for sulphur by about 10% this year in the Democratic Republic of Congo, driving up costs of a vital ingredient for mining cobalt and ...
