Analysis of latest tungsten market from Chinatungsten Online

Tungsten prices in China remain stable as both buyers and sellers are unclear for the outlook and market trading continues to be thin. But supported by high costs of tungsten ores, market participant mainly take a watchful stance with different psychological prices for products.

In the Chinese molybdenum market, molybdenum ore prices keep firm with the support of tight supply and increased offer levels of large companies. Ferro molybdenum market is affected by steel mills forcing prices down, so trading activity becomes lower, but manufacturers still are reluctant to decrease their sale prices, some of them even raise pricing in some region, boosted by the cost.

Rare earth market quotation in China: the latest prices of cerium oxide, europium oxide and neodymium oxide are unchanged from the previous trading day on Thursday April 18. 

Recently, Professors Zhang Wei and Zhou Peng of Microelectronics College of Fudan University have realized a disruptive two-dimensional semiconductor quasi-nonvolatile storage prototype device, and initiated a third type of storage technology. The writing speed is 10,000 times faster than the current U disk, and the storage time of data can also be determined by themselves, which will automatically disappear after the expiry date. This also solves the difficult problem of "writing speed" and "non-volatility" in the international semiconductor charge storage technology. This new type of memory transistor uses three kinds of single-layer two-dimensional nano-transition metal materials: molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide and hafnium disulfide.
