Amorphous Silicon Carbide is Ten Times Stronger Than Kevlar and Great to Microchips
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6HSEN)
Researchers at Delft University of Technology, led by assistant professor Richard Norte, have unveiled a remarkable new material with potential to impact the world of material science: amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC). Beyond its exceptional strength, this material demonstrates mechanical properties crucial for vibration isolation on a microchip. Amorphous silicon carbide is therefore particularly suitable for ...
