The research team at Yingkou Institute of Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology recently presented their latest work describing the structure and antimicrobial properties of thin-film coatings based on tungsten oxide materials on stainless steel substrates.

In organic chemistry, sodium tungstate (Na₂WO₄) is used as a catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes and the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones, and sodium tungstate particles are also known for their anti-diabetic effects; researchers have identified pathways by which sodium tungstate improves pancreatic function and beta-cell proliferation.

Molybdenum wires are common molybdenum product. If classified by material, molybdenum wire can be divided into pure molybdenum wire, high-temperature molybdenum wire, sprayed molybdenum wire, and wire-cut molybdenum wire and different types of molybdenum wire have different characteristics and their applications are also varied.

Tungsten (W) is a durable, strong metal used to make rings and other jewelry. The word tungsten originates from the Swedish word meaning heavy stone. It is a steel-gray material with the highest strength of any known metal, and it’s only one point lower than diamond on the Mohrs Hardness Scale.
