They have worked with oxides of iron, aluminium, zirconium, titanium and copper.

他们使用过氧化铁，氧化铝，氧化锆，氧化钛及氧化铜。

A second explosion happened when hydrogen was formed by hot water steam contacting zirconium.

当过热的水接触锆形成氢气时，发生了二次爆炸。

Uranium fuel rods contain tiny pellets of specially prepared uranium encased in a sheath of zirconium alloy.

铀燃料棒含有若干微型特制铀芯块，这些芯块被包裹在锆金护套里。

And when zirconium gets hot in the presence of steam, it actually splits the water molecules, making hydrogen gas.

当锆遇热后就会分解水分子，产生氢气。

And by picking the right ingredients, such as zirconium, they can be given the necessary Van der Waals properties. Zirconium is, however, costly.

通过选择正确的材料，如锆，它们可以获得必要的分子间作用力性质。但锆价格昂贵。

But zircon also has two things quartz doesn't: zirconium, which gives it its name, and small traces of radioactive uranium.

锆，这是它名字的由来，还有少量放射性铀的痕迹。

A second explosion ensued when hydrogen was formed by hot water steam contacting zirconium.

当热水与锆接触形成氢气时， 发生了第二次爆炸。

Not only is aluminium cheaper than zirconium, it is better at binding to and then releasing water, making the trap's operation smoother.

铝不仅比锆便宜，而且更容易与水结并释放水，使捕集器的操作更加顺畅。

Many of the BMGs currently available are made from expensive metals, like palladium and zirconium, and they have to be really pure because any impurities can cause crystallization.

已知的玻璃金属都是用昂贵材料做的，比如钯和锆，并且用的都是极纯净的金属，因为任何杂质都会加速结晶。

Which is weird, because lead isn't similar to zirconium, and so would never have ended up in a zircon crystal on its own, so the more lead you find in a zircon crystal, the older you know it is.

这就奇怪了，因为铅与锆不相似，所以绝不会单独出现在锆石晶体中，所以在锆石晶体中发现的铅越多，它的年代越久远。

Uranium atoms are similar enough to zirconium that they can occasionally slip into the mineral's crystal lattice in zirconium's place when the mineral is forming, but unlike zirconium, the unstable uranium atoms eventually radioactively decay into lead atoms.

铀原子与锆相似，以至于在矿物形成时，偶尔可以滑入矿物的晶格中代替锆，但与锆不同，不稳定的铀原子最终会放射性地衰成铅原子。
