Researchers from #UniLeipzig, #RWTH Aachen & #DESY have discovered that the bonding structure of the element #antimony depends directly on the distance between the atoms. This could help to tailor material properties, they report in Advanced Materials: uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetail/a

Chinese curbs on exports of three niche metals to the U.S. have already rattled the market. Now, a bigger clampdown looks set to have far-reaching ramifications for American defense and chipmaking industries. japantimes.co.jp/business/2024

Pricing for key chipmaking material hits 13-year high following Chinese export restrictions — #China's restrictions on #Gallium exports hit hard
China is the primary global supplier, accounting for 94% of gallium production. Prices rose to $595 per kilogram, a 17% increase over the previous level on December 11, the highest price since 2011. This sharp increase follows China's latest export ban of critical minerals to the US, including gallium, #germanium, and #antimony.

What #China’s critical #mineral ban means for the #US
In explicitly cutting off, rather than merely restricting, materials of strategic importance to the #semiconductor, #defense, and #electricvehicle sectors (#gallium, #germanium, #antimony), China has clearly crossed a new line in the long-simmering #tradewar. The nation has signaled it’s prepared to hit back harder still, in ways that could inflict serious #economic pain on its biggest economic rival.

#China bans export of key #minerals to #US as trade frictions escalate
China has banned exports to the #UnitedStates of items related to the minerals #gallium, #germanium and #antimony that have potential military applications, it said on Tuesday, a day after Washington's latest crackdown on China's chip sector.
Gallium and germanium are used in #semiconductors, while germanium is also used in infrared technology, #fibreoptic cables and #solar cells.

Antimony Tin Oxide scatters the wavelengths of infrared light emitted by warm humans. The antimony is often sourced from #stibnite. This material is being used to create fabric infrared invisibility cloaks!

Two photos of a finger with a ring of fabric. The fabric is made from polyurethane antimony tin oxide, which blocks thermal infrared light. The left photo is in visible light, the right photo is in emitted thermal infrared light (8-15 microns wavelength).

#China's #MinistryOfCommerce announced Thursday that export controls on #antimony would take effect Sept. 15. Antimony is used in bullets, nuclear weapons production and lead-acid batteries. It can also strengthen other metals.

"3 months ago, there's no way [any] one would have thought they would have done this. It's quite confrontational in that regard," Lewis Black, CEO of Almonty Industries
