  • Borphene vs Graphine (computers)

    Here’s a article about Borophene that could be much more promising than graphine… using boron atoms not carbon…. The technology is all about the future of smallness for computing and more.

    Making flat layers of atoms has interesting applications. But Borophene seems to allow for crystal-type layouts that have lots of interesting properties. It should handle heat well, it is flexible, and it conducts electricity. The applications are for computers, of course. Seems extremely promising for various types of batteries, starting with Lithium.

    But the many other possibilities include the fact that Borophene can attract and hold hydrogen atoms, at a rate of up the 15% of weight.

    Borophene is new, really only available since 2015.
    Very cool technology. Lots of work to be done before it is prime-time.

    Can’t wait to see where this technology leads us.

    Dow chemicals is now a innovation, high-tech company?

    That’s right. The olde staunching company now has two-thirds of its products in with intellectual property (IP). Proprietary products are 66% of their products. !

    Was 100% petrochemicals (kindof).

    Here you can find out about their products: http://www.dow.com/products/

    They are creating massive facilities in the USA, taking advantage of the low costs of production here were we are swimming in nat gas (and petro chemicals).

    But the really BIG project is in Saudi. The size of the factory is about 1,000 football feilds BIG. With some 60,000 employees at peak construction. Coming onboard this year.

    Wow.

    They are taking advantage of the US energy boom in a way that no other company can (or does)!:-)

    Wow.

    They are coming out of an aggressive “activist” investor action and seem pretty good for the wear.
