Most metal borides are hard; [41] however, a few stand out among them for their particularly high hardnesses (for example, WB 4, [42] [43] RuB 2, OsB 2 and ReB 2). These metal borides are still metals and not semiconductors or insulators (as indicated by their high electronic density of states at the Fermi Level ); however, the additional ...

The archaeological period during which bronze was the hardest metal in widespread use is known as the Bronze Age. The beginning of the Bronze Age in western Eurasia and India is conventionally dated to the mid-4th millennium BCE (~3500 BCE), and to the early 2nd millennium BCE in China; [1] elsewhere it gradually spread across regions.
A silvery substance, one of the hardest in the Pokémon world, and which only occurs on Silver Rock Isle. The locals sell wing-shaped pin talismans fashioned from silver rock stone. Silverstone Elemental Assassin: Magic metal that can absorb and negate elemental magic, at the cost of generating heat (melting the metal if it absorbs too much).
A 2023 consumer reports study found elevated levels of lead or cadmium in a third of dark chocolate — but new research found metals in fewer than 3% of samples.
The metals of antiquity are the seven metals which humans had identified and found use for in prehistoric times in Africa, Europe and throughout Asia: [1] gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, iron, and mercury. Zinc, arsenic, and antimony were also known during antiquity, but they were not recognised as distinct metals until later.
As in the cases of other refractory metals, the hardest known compounds of tantalum are nitrides and carbides. Tantalum carbide, TaC, like the more commonly used tungsten carbide, is a hard ceramic that is used in cutting tools. Tantalum(III) nitride is used as a thin film insulator in some microelectronic fabrication processes. [39]
