The researchers found that aluminium and magnesium undergo a metallic thermite reaction with boron oxide that can interfere with the combustion process and leaves unwanted oxide residues.

An SCCE team, led by Shaolin Zhu, has developed a solution to achieve this reaction by combining cross-coupling and nickel hydride-catalysed chain-walking, namely, migration of a double bond along ...

When you burn the iron it reacts with oxygen to make iron oxide, creating the sparks we ... metals can also react with oxygen in an oxidation reaction. When burnt in oxygen, the carbon in this ...
