The researchers at Fudan University, China, reviewed the fundamental mechanisms and recent development in the selective laser sintering of polymers, which is of great help for researchers to learn ...

While the method of flash sintering can reduce the temperatures and time required to process ceramics in comparison with traditional methods, the technique often ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics are an important class of materials with widespread applications in electronics and energy storage due to their high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability.

A centuries-old materials bonding process is being tested aboard the International Space Station in an experiment that could pave the way for more materials research of its kind aboard the orbiting ...

A novel ultra-fast high-temperature pre-sintering (UHS) followed by conventional pressureless sintering (CS) strategy was employed for the first time to prepare transparent AlON ceramics. The prepared ...

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 ...

Study using VPP to form SiC with sintering aids, achieving sub‑2000°C densification and improved microstructure.

Penn State researchers developed a low-temperature (150°C) method to produce solid-state battery electrolytes. Solid-state batteries offer greater energy density, safety, and charging speed, but have ...

Researchers in Purdue University's College of Engineering have developed and validated a patent-pending method that could expand the industrial applications of ceramics by making them more plastically ...

Researchers from the University of Central Florida in the United States have developed a photonic curing technique that reportedly improves the copper (Cu) metallization of solar cells by reducing Cu ...
