Stability of single-crystal Cu nanowires in low-reactive plasma enviroments
Flagship international science: a collaboration between University of São Paulo, ETH Zürich and Montanuniversität of Leoben, it is my pleasure to share with you our recent findings on the stability of single-crystal Cu nanowires for future applications in nanoelectronics. Open access paper here: rdcu.be/b9L2E This is very special paper as it is the debut paper … Continue reading Stability of single-crystal Cu nanowires in low-reactive plasma enviroments
Ce nanoparticles as a corrosion inhibitor in Al 2xxx series alloys!
With great pleasure I am sharing to all of you the first paper performed in collaboration with the research group of Professor Hercílio de Melo in the field of corrosion of Al alloys 2xxx series. In this paper we report that Ce-containing nanoparticles -- when stuck to the inherent porous walls of anodized layers -- … Continue reading Ce nanoparticles as a corrosion inhibitor in Al 2xxx series alloys!
“A ciência que investiga e joga luz no irreconhecível precisa ocupar um lugar de destaque na sociedade, por seus méritos, dedicação e capacidade de preparar caminhos mais saudáveis para a humanidade. Um esforço voltado para redesenhar a sociedade brasileira, que hoje sangra em seus fundamentos, inclusive nos democráticos.”
Compartilhando um artigo extremamente interessante escrito pelo Professor Glauco Arbix (FFLCH-USP); Revista USP de Estudos Avançados: https://www.revistas.usp.br/eav/article/view/173371/162559
“7% of the Brazilian population – some 11 million people – believe that the Earth is flat”
Yes, you read it correctly: the education levels in Brazil are worrying. Part of the society is just completely ignorant and turning into conspiracy-theory believers due to the aid of social networks. Sharing a very interesting news article from Physics World, a monthly publication from the Institute of Physics! Read everything at: https://physicsworld.com/a/fighting-flat-earth-theory/
Cutting edge Aluminium metallurgy!
Under the supervision of Professor Stefan Pogatscher and in collaboration with a strong scientific network, I am delighted to share our two "most fresh" papers pushing up the frontiers of Aluminium Metallurgy. The first "Age-hardening response of AlMgZn alloys with Cu and Ag additions" is a comprehensive assessment on the heat-treatment response and mechanical properties … Continue reading Cutting edge Aluminium metallurgy!
Life after death?
The modus operandi of science is skepticism. It is indeed! And we scientists should take this very seriously in order to avoid possible mystification during the course our professional life. We are skeptical, although we are allowed to talk about the unknown and try to reach some subjective conclusions based on our own life experiences. … Continue reading Life after death?
History, scientists and metallurgy (1)
We are starting today in this blog, a series of nostalgic posts on the history of modern metallurgy and its scientists! Please, if you have a photo that you would like to share with us, please don't hesitate to contact me -- matheus.tunes[at]unileoben.ac.at -- and I will be delighted to share with the whole world the … Continue reading History, scientists and metallurgy (1)
An Ode to Metallurgy
In a paper for Physics Today in August 1969 (one month after Apollo 11 landed on the moon), the Austrian physicist Victor F. Weisskopf described the class of physicists as a bunch of "happy breed of men in a world of uncertainty and bewilderment" [1]. Despite of being an article to increase the ego of scientists, his manuscript … Continue reading An Ode to Metallurgy
