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

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, ...

Yi-Chen Lan, doctoral student in chemical engineering at Penn State and first author of a paper published in ChemSusChem, holds a battery coin cell that contains composite electrolytes reprocessed ...

(Nanowerk News) For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics with a two-dimensional material that opens the door to new designs of nanocomposites with a variety of ...

New computer-aided ‘predictive technology’ has potential to save industry time, money and reduce wastage. Engineers at the University of Leicester have invented a new technique in the manufacture of ...

Engineers at Purdue University are using flash sintering to improve the plasticity of ceramics, an advance that could allow ceramics to sustain heavy loads and high temperatures without experiencing ...
