WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A new project will study the fundamental mechanisms behind a method that uses electrical fields to enhance ceramics-sintering processing to manufacture components for a range of ...

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

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, ...

Scientists have reinvented a 26,000-year-old manufacturing process into an innovative approach to fabricating ceramic materials that has promising applications for solid-state batteries, fuel cells, ...

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 ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
