A chemical compound made from niobium (columbium) and titanium oxides, used in advanced ceramics and electronic materials.
Combines 'columbium' with 'titanate' (a compound of titanium and oxygen). Coined during mid-20th century materials research when scientists systematically created mixed-metal oxides.
This compound is crucial for making ferroelectric ceramics used in capacitors and sensors—some of the tech in your phone depends on materials like this, but almost nobody knows their names!
