More than a century after their invention, tungsten filaments—the coiled metal wires at the heart of many incandescent light bulbs—continue to be popular. This is despite the growing market for LED ...

EM Resolutions has announced availability of products from Energy Beam Sciences and Denka for electron microscopists. EM Resolutions has been appointed by Energy Beam Sciences (EBS) as exclusive ...

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories -- exceeding the predictions of a 100-year-old law of physics -- have shown that filaments fabricated of tungsten lattices emit remarkably more energy than ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Thomas Edison and others considered ...

The latest models of tabletop SEMs (TT-SEMs) feature a range of electron sources. Although a tungsten filament is used in a majority of TT-SEMs, certain models come with a Cerium Hexaboride (CeB 6) ...

Researchers create a prototype bulb with a carbon nanotube in place of the standard tungsten filament. It uses less power, burns brighter and could lead to the first major overhaul in bulb design in a ...

You probably know that an incandescent light bulb uses a tungsten filament. What's even cooler is that it's got 20 inches of double-coiled filament -- and tungsten is a brittle mineral that, under ...

Imagine a lump of iron the size of a tennis ball. Weigh it in your hand. Now let it drop on to your foot. How does that feel? Now imagine an identical object three times as dense. How would that feel ...

Columbia’s Professor Colin Garfield Fink, who gave Industry a chromium-plated shield against rust, last week took out a patent for a tungsten-plated shield. Twenty million tons of iron and steel rust ...
