Hafnium - Periodic Table of Videos

[MrAtrophy]

@periodicvideos , what about hafnium reactors where it is bombarded with soft x-rays , and gives off gamma radiation ? or its use a neutron sinks in nuclear reactors ?

[yevonator88]

So by usage in computer chips, does it mean its a better displacer of heat? Or is there some other functionality for it?

[michel6]

So many people here. I love these videos, and the Professor as well. But, I wonder what led that many people to wake up in the morning and think... "What a beautiful day to make a research about Hafnium..."

[jlmadill]

I saw this shit in the MATRIX

2 People have their monitors up side down...

[TheCaptainLulz]

one use for the pure metal is in plasma cutter electrodes because it sheds electrons allowing the current to arc on the metal it is going to cut.

[somor98]

Hafnium is the latin name for Copenhagen

[gaswerti]

@somor98 no it's not hafinia is

[1993gandy]

hafnium sounds like a word being said backwards

[Serostern]

@1993gandy Muinfah? =P

[omegahunter9]

Lol maybe you could do a Periodic Table of Popular Elements? :P

[uut0]

my cpu has hafnium in it :D

[lbruceolson]

I happen to know that Hafnium is used to make potato chips.

[lequinhozzz]

The processor Intel XEON 7400 is made of it instead of silicon.

[douro20]

No, it's used in the transistors- they have hafnium gates.

[xlrv1]

I want a second version of Hf! It is used in control rods for nuclear reactors but as a powder it can ignite spontaneously - a neat paradox.

[endimion17]

It's not a paradox.

[xlrv1]

Most paradoxes aren't, but you know what I mean.

[UncleKennybobs]

@xlrv1 It's not a paradox at all.

[xlrv1]

Sheesh, I should have written a long phrase like "apparently dramatic contrasting features". Come on, if you're literate you know a word can be used more senses than the first one appearing in the dictionary. Anyone who makes another comment about "paradox" shall be assumed illiterate.

[UncleKennybobs]

@xlrv1 Hardly. You're the illiterate one using incorrect words.

[xlrv1]

@UncleKennybobs No. Literate people are aware of polysemy and smart enough to be aware of how a word is being used. I've been a translator for over 40 years so bug off.

[UncleKennybobs]

@xlrv1 No. Literate people are capable of using the right words to make a complete sentence.

You're not a translator. You're not. Stop talking shit and learn to speak English before claiming to be a translator you stupid twat.

[bushiyo2]

@xlrv1 About a year ago you used the word paradox improperly. Just making sure you haven't forgotten xD

[musl2009]

what household items contain hafnium? i need atleast 3 so that i can take and display in a board. it's really important i'll be happy if anyone can help me out

[douro20]

Notebook computers- all of Intel's 45nm chips use hafnium metal gates.

[CyberaxIzh]

Also, Hafnium forms meta-stable nuclear isomers.

Nuclear isomers radiate very high energetic gamma-rays when they revert back to ground state. So it just might be possible to create a gamma-ray laser (graser?).

[mikeyidh]

I never got the use of the wafer. I seen it in Intel labs but I never seen them using it. Do you think its a secret in the assembly line?

[LedgerLines]

not really all producers of micro chips use the same exact method of making semi-conductor chips

it's no secret you make the design on the silicon wafer (many micro ships are fitted on one wafer) then you cut the designated square out, then you solder the 128 pins (or however many it varies) at the appropriate connections and seal it up in a non-static non-magnetic case.

how bout you read instead of trying to have videos explain everything to you....sheesh kids these days. jk :)

[AlmightScoop]

Nope. Not a secret at all. They treat the silicon then do photolithography. This is where a laser is used to etch the desired circuit onto the board. Then compounds which have an affinity for the etched can be added to change the electronic properties.
