“ FACTS ABOUT BERYLLIUM”

Beryllium is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Be and atomic number 4. It has several unique properties:

- Beryllium is uniquely strong,

- Beryllium is uniquely light,

- Beryllium is used to make cell phones, missiles and aircrafts,

- Beryllium is in fact highly toxic and should therefore never be tasted,

- Beryllium is one of the lightest metals and has one of the highest melting points among the light metals,

- Beryllium is Steel gray in color,

- Beryllium's modulus of elasticity is about one-third greater than steel,

- Beryllium is nonmagnetic and resistant to concentrated nitric acid,

- Beryllium is also has superior thermal conductivity and resists oxidation in air in normal temperatures,

- Beryllium improves many physical properties when added as an alloying element to aluminium, copper (notably the alloy beryllium copper), iron and nickel,

- Beryllium does not form oxides until it reaches very high temperatures,

- Beryllium is the most common window material for X-ray equipment and components of particle physics experiments,

- The high thermal conductivities of beryllium and beryllium oxide have led to their use in thermal management applications.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...
