What if you could shrink an hours-long, 1,400 °C sintering marathon down to a 10-minute, 1,200 °C sprint? That’s exactly what ...

As power demand surges in the AI era, the protonic ceramic electrochemical cell (PCEC), which can simultaneously produce ...

Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...

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

Explore the highlights of the 5th Ceramic 3D Printing Meetings in Limoges, focusing on recent advances in ceramic additive ...

Porous α-Al 2 O 3 ceramics are widely used in various applications, including filters, substrates, and biomedical materials. These ceramics can be prepared using several methods, such as partial ...

ZnO varistor ceramics were synthesised by cold sintering/spark plasma sintering and post-annealing treatment. Intriguingly, the ZnO varistor ceramics present ultrahigh potential gradient, high ...

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, ...

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 ...

In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the lightweight materials of airplanes and rockets might soon be getting stronger. A new method for making ceramic materials — which ...

We measure the sintering behavior of thin and thick films of ceramics made by stacking several layers of tapes. The stack thickness was varied from 0.12 to 0.50 mm. A powder pressed dog‐bone sample, ...
