The three-dimensional model of the aluminum oxide surface was optimized with machine learning methods. The main challenge was ...

Aluminum naturally forms an oxide layer on its surface when exposed to air. Anodizing in an electrolytic cell creates a thicker oxide layer that makes the part more resistant to corrosion and wear.

Transparent aluminum oxide (TAlOx), a real material despite ... the researchers applied microdroplets of acidic solution onto small aluminum surfaces and applied an electric current.

Dying satellites create aluminium oxide particles in the mesosphere, 50–85km (30–50 miles) above Earth’s surface. But the ...

When sodium is cut or scratched, its freshly exposed shiny surface rapidly turns dull as a thin layer of sodium oxide forms: Other metals may oxidise more slowly. Gold and other very unreactive ...

The device was built with an aluminum contact manufacturing process that reportedly does not compromise the surface passivation quality of underlying silicon oxide layers. A group of researchers ...
