Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. The researchers, who are based ...

Amid concerns about a supply shortage of tantalum capacitors and the rising cost of tantalum powder, capacitor manufacturers are touting their latest niobium capacitors as direct replacements for ...

Niobium has long been considered an underperformer in superconducting qubits. Scientists have now engineered a high-quality niobium-based qubit, taking advantage of niobium's superior qualities. For ...
