Vanadium (atomic No. 23) is an “ultratrace” mineral. Humans need it in tiny amounts, about five to 10 micrograms a day. The element is found in whole grains, shellfish, mushrooms, black pepper ...

Researchers have peeked behind the curtain of the ultrafast phase transition of vanadium dioxide and found its atomic theatrics are much more complicated than they thought. It's a material that ...

Vanadium is a metal in group VB of the periodic table with atomic number 23, an atomic weight of 50.94, and a density of 6.1 Mg/m 3. It has a melting temperature of 1900 C. The electronic ...

Vanadium dioxide has the unusual ability to switch from electrical insulator to conductor at the low temperature of 152 degrees Fahrenheit. By optically triggering this phase transition and ...

A research team has succeeded in inducing ferromagnetism, a key property of conventional magnets, in pure vanadium oxide, a ...

This is why I’ve tracked down some of the best vanadium stocks today. To start, let’s take a closer look at the vanadium industry. This top down approach can help determine if investing in vanadium is ...

Researchers in Spain have developed an n-type crystalline silicon solar cell based on vanadium oxide films deposited by atomic layer deposition. The cell showed an open-circuit voltage of 631 mV ...
