Ceramics are common materials used in electronics and other applications. But the conventional process, mixing solid starting materials and sticking them in a high-temperature furnace for several ...
An ultrafast method can drastically reduce the time needed to synthesize ceramics, cutting prep time from several hours to less than a minute (Science 2020, DOI: 10.1126/science.aaz7681). The ...
A cheap and efficient way of making ceramic films has earned a patent for a team of chemists at the University of Massachusetts. Professor Patricia Bianconi and her team of two graduate students, ...
Microwave cold sintering process (MW-CSP) was used to densify NaCl, KDP, MgMoO₄, Li₂MoO₄, and TiO₂ ceramics. Under the fundamental densification mechanisms dominated by the coupling of the transient ...
A new process for incorporating fortifying agents into ceramic could strengthen the materials used in aerospace engineering. In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the ...
