Refractory metals are metallic elements of the periodic table with unique properties such as extremely high melting points. However, they can remain solid at room temperature. These characteristics make these materials ideal for research-based and critical nuclear reactions. What Are Refractory Metals? Refractory metals possess a melting point above 2,000° Celsius (3,632° F) and are […]

Capacitors are electronic components characterized by their capacity to store electric charges. Generally, capacitors are passive electrical components, which means that their function is not dependent on extra electricity. They store energy in the electric field between a pair of conductors. Electrical energy discharges from the capacitor by chemical action. Capacitors control the flow of […]

Metals are made up of atoms that are composed of electrons held in orbit by the pull of the nucleus. When exposed to light, metals give off energy, this phenomenon is referred to as the photoelectric effect. The light has to be of a certain frequency for this to be effective. This means that the […]
