Barium copper-silicate doesn’t just have archaeologists and chemists intrigued. At normal temperatures, it’s an insulator and is nonmagnetic. Along with its many fine properties ...

Scientists have discovered that at the abrupt lowest temperature transition at which barium copper silicate enters a new state-called the quantum critical point-the three-dimensional material ...

Egyptian blue, also known as calcium copper silicate or cuprorivaite, was developed more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt and Mesopotamia. As reported by Focus Online, it was produced artificially by ...

Considered to be the first synthetic pigment, Egyptian blue—which is derived from calcium copper silicate—was routinely used on ancient depictions of gods and royalty in ancient Egypt.

For being the world’s oldest known synthetic pigment, the original recipes for Egyptian blue remain a mystery. The approximately 5,000-year-old dye wasn’t a single color, but instead ...

TMC’s Head of Onshore Development, Dr Jeffrey Donald, commented: “Successfully converting nodules into high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt alloy and manganese silicate at PAMCO’s existing ...

M ore than 5,000 years ago, in ancient Egypt, a mixture of silica, lime, copper, and an alkali was heated, resulting in a bright blue compound known as calcium copper silicate. This striking ...
