An international research team, including researchers from Aalto University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, Sichuan University, Oregon State University, Yonsei University, and the University of Cambridge, designed miniature spectrometers consisting of a 'sandwich' of different components, including graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), and tungsten diselenide (WSe₂).

Research by the Swedish company SMENA Catalysis AB has led to the discovery of a MoS₂ material, a method for improving the properties of layered molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) by introducing highly controllable edges and holes in the material.

Backed by the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) portfolio, Greenland Resources' world-class Climax-type Malmbjerg molybdenum project in Greenland is accelerating the energy green transition.

Recent research led by an Australian university has provided the world's first measurement of interactions between Fermi polarons in a two-dimensional WS₂ semiconductor, using ultrafast spectroscopy capable of probing complex quantum materials. Researchers at Swinburne University of Technology have characterized the exciton-polaron interactions in experiments on 2D semiconductor monolayers.

Analysis of latest tungsten market from Chinatungsten Online

China’s ammonium paratungstate (APT) and tungsten powder prices are stable temporally as the the severe situation of the current epidemic continues to impact the demand market and the economic recovery process. 

This week, China rare earth market maintained a relatively strong operation, mainly due to the increase in inquiries from downstream users and the rising awareness of suppliers' profitability. The price of dysprosium and terbium fluctuated within a narrow range. In addition, some industry players lack confidence in the good operation of the market outlook.

This week, the overall performance of the domestic molybdenum market is good, mainly reflected in the acceptable downstream demand, recorded high molybdenum prices, suppliers’ strong quotation confidence and high awareness of profit taking, etc. Worries have also increased, and it is believed that the market may maintain smooth operation in the future.

Analysis of latest tungsten market from Chinatungsten Online

China tungsten price remained weak adjustment overall in November 2022. In the first half of this month, product prices declined affected by weak demand; but with the decline in the operating rate of raw material factories and squeezed product profits, market prices gradually stabilized in the second half of this month. 

Analysis of latest tungsten market from Chinatungsten Online

China’s ammonium paratungstate (APT) and tungsten powder prices are unchanged from the previous trading day mainly due to cautious trading sentiment of market participants. 

China rare earth prices are generally arranged within a narrow range on November 30, 2022. Affected by many uncertain factors, the market trends of light and heavy rare earths are slightly different, that is, the light rare earth market is stable and strong, and the heavy rare earth market is weak.
