Precious metals like palladium and platinum are often used as chemical catalysts, but true to their name, they’re expensive to source. Scientists may have just found a cheaper alternative.

RidgeAlloy has the potential to turn the aluminum sourcing and manufacturing process on its head.

A nanotechnology pioneer has uncovered a transformative approach to harnessing the catalytic power of aluminum nanoparticles by annealing them in various gas atmospheres at high temperatures.

Platinum works beautifully. It speeds up chemical reactions, holds up under punishment, and sits reliably at the center of industrial processes worth billions of dollars annually.

what alloy of aluminum should we use to transfer heat between a CPU and a heatsink. I first wanted to use copper but my dads friend said he can't get an order in for that so I would just like him to ...
