Bradoo's goal is to develop technologies that can sustainably extract these rare and precious metals with a minimal environmental footprint.
One theory, popularised by Luigi Galvani, was that there was a special electricity in animals, which he demonstrated by connecting two different metals with a frog's leg.
Most significantly, perhaps, the sequence was begun shortly after we invaded Iraq; even so, as with "From metals with a memory", the sequence took me by surprise.
Scientist: Black metals with a nanostructured surface could be the key to creating better, more effective solar panels, trapping more light than ever before.
For metals with a high melting temperature, stable refractory material must be used to avoid reaction between the metal and the mold.
Metallic berkelium has been prepared; it is electropositive, reactive, and silver-coloured like the other actinoid metals, with a specific gravity of 14.8.
At the moment it would be no rival to printing metals with a laser or electron beam, a technique that a number of aerospace companies are now using.
Ductile metals are usually combined in an alloy of two or more metals with a lubricant and then pressed or briquetted by a hard steel die.
I chose "From metals with a memory to brilliant light-emitting solids", not least because the commission was obviously a challenge and it seemed the least hospitable subject on offer.
The price of gold hit a record high of more than $1,060 an ounce in New York as investors bet that paper currencies would continue to weaken against precious metals with a return to inflation.
I mistakenly thought you had to use the title of the lecture as title of the poem and there was one lecture that had been given and the title was "From metals with a memory to brilliant light-emitting solids".
