+44 7745 521 449Ekeberg Prize 2018 - Shortlist
The six publications on the 2018 Anders Gustaf Ekeberg Tantalum Prize shortlist show the great versatility of tantalum. Two describe improved catalysts, while the others cover surgical implants, solid state memory devices, and a new refining process for tantalum ore. The sixth publication is the first comprehensive treatise on the science, manufacture and applications of tantalum capacitors.
The winner will be chosen by the independent panel of experts and the Prize medal, made from pure tantalum metal, will be awarded at the T.I.C.’s 59th General Assembly in Kigali, Rwanda, in October 2018.
