Tungsten is a refractory transition metal topic central to materials science, condensed matter physics, and high-temperature engineering due to its exceptional physical properties, including the highest melting point of all metals (~3422°C), very high density, and low vapor pressure. Research on tungsten encompasses its body-centered cubic crystal structure, defect dynamics, irradiation response in nuclear fusion environments, and mechanical behavior under extreme thermal and mechanical loads. It is also a key subject in electronic materials and catalysis topics, where its alloys and compounds (e.g., tungsten carbides) are investigated for hardness, wear resistance, and electronic or catalytic functionalities.
A new study led by Prof. Tianyou Peng (College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, Wuhan University) and Associate Prof. Peng Zeng (School of Food and Pharmaceutical Engineering, Zhaoqing University) describes how a novel ...
