In today's metal-based gadgets, you either need to bend a piece of sheet metal, or die-cast with an inferior alloy like aluminum or magnesium.
"Although the group's early years were more heavy-metal-based, they were one of the first bands to incorporate a more alternative and ethereal sound into their thunderous and visceral music, blazing a trail that newer bands continue to follow today, " Portnow said.
The material is an organic photovoltaic semiconductor (called rr-P3HT) which, unlike the metal or silicon-based materials used until now for such biotechnological interfaces, is soft, light, flexible and highly biocompatible and naturally sensitive to visible light.
Nowadays AMSC starts by engraving a microscopic pattern onto a sheet of nickel-based metal, to align the crystals.
Australian-based Sims Metal Management (SMS, 16) is the world's largest publically traded scrap metal recycler and electronics recycler.
Another strong buy from Marketocracy is an Ohio-based, metal and glass container company that specializes in containers for soft drinks, wine, beer, tea, juice and pharmaceuticals.
ClearOhm material is based on metal nano-wires, not a ceramic like ITO.
FORBES: High-tech MIT spin-out Cambrios teams on Touch Screen Breakthrough
Human creativity, it seems, knows no bounds when it comes to inventing new ways to build a petroleum-based fire inside an enclosed metal space and then convert the resulting energy pulse into forward motion.
The car will get different sheet metal and an altered interior from the Impreza -based sedan, but if you look under the hood you'll see a Subaru engine, and everywhere else you look you'll see Subaru, not Saab parts.
Since the 1920s, the way to make a car has been to construct a metal shell bearing all the stresses, based on load-bearing floors, pillars and panels hammered out by huge presses costing millions of dollars.
Yes that's right, the base metal element lead, Pb, or more exactly the lead-based chemical compound Pb(CH2CH3)4 added to petrol to make car engines run more smoothly.
As water-based materials are better at stopping radiation than metal, the approach theoretically represents the best of all worlds with less bulk, a simpler life support system and maximum room for supplies.
These include Yuri Suzuki, a materials scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, who is building stacks of metal oxides in the hopes that, when combined with carbon-based materials, they'll blend into a new kind of semiconductor that can control spin at normal temperatures.
Sweden's Sandvik (6.6, SDVKY) fell 70% in the bear market as the recession whacked sales of its metal-cutting, mining and construction tools as well as specialty alloys based on titanium and zirconium, used in thousands of applications like boiler tubes and flanges.
