A new techno-economic analysis shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental benefits if it moved to free the cold sintering process from languishing in ...

Material sciences researchers are often looking for ways to improve the strength and viability of materials for a wide range of industries, including the construction industry. The need for processes ...

Silver sintering, as opposed to traditional soldering, is being adopted by leading manufacturers, says Anup Bhalla of UnitedSiC. As well as reducing thermal resistance and increasing reliability, ...

In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process. Now, ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...

The Temporal Fusion Transformer model provides near-real-time insights into sintering temperatures, addressing critical ...

Professor Ian Reaney and researchers from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield and Pennsylvania State University have released a new paper. This paper has ...

Lithium-ion batteries have been a staple in device manufacturing for years, but the liquid electrolytes they rely on to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazards and safety concerns. Now, ...
