Metals and alloys are materials that are typically hard, malleable, and have good electrical and thermal conductivity. Alloys are made by melting two or more elements together, at least one of ...

They can be made harder by adding another element to the pure metal, so forming an alloy. This explains why an alloy often has more uses than the pure elements it is made from. In a pure metal ...

Your average thermal paste is a colloid—a liquid with solid particles in suspension—with tiny grains of aluminium oxide and/or zinc oxide being mixed into silicone. It's perfe ...
