The silvery metal scandium can be made into a superconductor without having to be mixed with other substances, and this occurs at higher temperatures than for any other element. The process still ...

Scandium is a critical metal that is as strong as titanium, as light as aluminum and as hard as ceramic. While it is more abundant than lead, mercury and all the precious metals, there are no pure ...

Science time Scandium-based "nuclear" clock could provide unprecedented time measurement precision Atomic resonance so narrow that it doesn't lose a second in 300 billion years By Alfonso Maruccia ...

A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These ...

Conclusion and Future Work The research demonstrates that aluminum-scandium alloys, particularly 5083 with 0.2% scandium, offer a viable solution for hydrogen storage valve applications.

Russian aluminium producer Rusal said on Thursday it is setting up a 1.5 tonne-a-year production facility for the rare-earth metal scandium, with the capacity to increase to 19 metric tonnes a year.

Aluminum scandium nitride thin films could pave the way for the next generation of ferroelectric memory devices, according to a new study. Compared to existing ferroelectric materials, these films ...
