In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever made.

That coloring results from a chemical reaction between the copper deposits caused by corrosion and oxygen, forming copper hydroxide carbonate. Oxidation is why the Statue of Liberty, which is made ...

In this experiment, one iron nail is wrapped in magnesium, another in copper and one left alone. The nail wrapped in magnesium is not corroded. There is slight corrosion on the normal nail and ...

Copper and zinc atoms are different sizes. This distorts the regular lattice structure in brass, so layers of atoms cannot slide over each other so easily. This makes brass stronger than copper or ...

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction is a highly endothermic reaction, typically requiring temperatures above 600°C in conventional thermo-catalysis. However, elevated temperatures lead to ...
