OOO THE GIRLIES ARE FIGHTING OOO

molybdenum being hit by deuterium (unsure if you're doing isotopes), knocking it to the ground, and the next frame they're technetium like "wtf"

alternatively molybdenum -> technetium trans allegory

What the hell do we need molybdenum in our body for? Is that even a real element? Sounds fake.

Electronics engineers successfully integrate MoS₂ transistors on a 200 mm wafer

In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to design increasingly sophisticated transistors that can be scaled down to smaller sizes. Given the limitations of conventional silicon-based field effect transistors (FETs), some teams have been experimenting with alternative designs based on materials with higher electron mobility. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are among the most promising materials for the development of scalable FETs, due to their small length and good carrier mobility. One of these materials is molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a compound consisting of molybdenum and sulfide atoms in a 1:2 ratio. Researchers at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) and Seoul National University recently demonstrated integration of MoS2 transistors on a 200 mm wafer. Their paper, published in Nature Electronics, demonstrates the scalability of transistors based on MoS2, highlighting their potential for the future development of smaller and flexible devices.

My top 3 chemical element misnomers

Number 3: Technetium Named from technetos, meaning artificial, because it was the first element to be artificially synthesized rather than discovered. We have since found trace amounts of naturally occuring technetium, technically making the name retroactively wrong.

Number 2: Oxygen Named from oxys, meaning sharp, because Lavoisier thought it was the central component in all acids. Oxygen is a central component in many natural phenomena - combustion, corrosion of metals, all life on the planet - but not this one, that’s the one thing it doesn’t do.

Number 1: Molybdenum Named from molybdos, meaning lead. Molybdenum is not lead, that’s a different element, so this name is 100% wrong on every level.

MOLYBDENUM: A Mis-named Metal!

This metal was known to the Greeks and Roman's. The word μόλυβδος from which it is derived appears in several ancient texts to denote a metal....except that word does not refer specifically to the metal we now call molybdenum.

μόλυβδος is the ancient Greek for lead, the same as Latin plumbum (ar least we're pretty certain so. Molybdenum ores were originally believed to be from less or lead-based.

It is, as Oliver Sacks calls it, the 'metal of extremes.' It can be a high temperature lubricant or be used in hhigh speed drills.

More about molybdenum in the ancient sources over on BloggusClassicus soon.

Molybdenum boride ceramics developed for harsh environment SERS detection

A research team has successfully synthesized three different crystalline phases of molybdenum boride with a strong Raman signal enhancement performance. These findings were published in the journal of Small. The researchers were led by Prof. Huang Zhulin at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a rapid and non-destructive detection method widely used in various fields including trace pollutant monitoring, food safety, chemical catalysis, and molecular fingerprint identification. However, most noble metal SERS materials are costly and exhibit poor physical and chemical stability, especially under extreme conditions such as high temperatures and strong corrosive environments, where SERS enhancement effect diminishes rapidly.
