Materials science in science fiction is the study of how materials science is portrayed in works of science fiction.The accuracy of the materials science portrayed spans a wide range – sometimes it is an extrapolation of existing technology, sometimes it is a physically realistic portrayal of a far-out technology, and sometimes it is simply a plot device that looks scientific, but has no ...
A programmable material that the Transformers are made from. Tritanium: Star Trek: The fictional metal tritanium was referred to in many episodes as an extremely hard alloy used in starship hulls and hand-held tools. Eve Online: A versatile material; the primary material used in the construction of virtually all star ships and star ship components.
Tantalum arsenide is a compound of tantalum and arsenic with the formula TaAs. It is notable as being the first topological Weyl semimetal that was identified and characterized by ARPES . [ 3 ]
Tantalum has been examined theoretically as a "salting" material for nuclear weapons (cobalt is the better-known hypothetical salting material). An external shell of 181 Ta would be irradiated by the intensive high-energy neutron flux from a hypothetical exploding nuclear weapon.
Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World is a 2014 non-fiction book by the British materials scientist Mark Miodownik.The book explores many of the common materials people encounter during their daily lives and seeks to explain the science behind them in an accessible manner.
Tantalum pentoxide, also known as tantalum(V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta 2 O 5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid. Ta 2 O 5 is an inert material with a high refractive index and low absorption (i.e. colourless), which makes it useful for coatings ...
