Feature Article Title:
The Ekeberg Prize 2021 – Shortlisted Papers in Tantalum Innovation
Feature Article Summary:
Seven research papers were shortlisted for the 2021 Ekeberg Prize, showcasing tantalum’s vast potential: from additive manufacturing of TiTa alloys, superconducting nanowire detectors with Ta₂O₅ waveguides, and solar-driven water splitting using Ta₃N₅ nanotubes, to fluoride-free Nb/Ta separation and ultrahigh thermal conductivity in θ-TaN. These works reflect tantalum’s diverse and growing technological relevance.

- Tantalum-Niobium International Study Center (T.I.C.)
- The T.I.C. was established in response to concerns within the tantalum industry regarding the lack of useful information on tantalum source materials. The initial purpose of the T.I.C. was to spread information about tantalum and to promote the common interest and welfare of the producers, especially with public and private authorities, organisations and agencies. Since its foundation, the T.I.C. has grown to encompass niobium and all stages of the tantalum/niobium supply chains.
Advancing sustainability, technology, and industry collaboration since 1974.
