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 ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

(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.

Barium titanate is an important electroceramic material used in trillions of capacitors each year and found in most electronics. Researchers have produced the material at record low temperatures, and ...

A new process enables printing of nanometer-scale quartz glass structures directly onto semiconductor chips. A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin is used as feedstock material for 3D printing of ...

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a key technology for producing green hydrogen without carbon emissions, require a high-temperature “sintering” process to harden ceramic powders. Researchers at ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

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 ...

Tolerating heat and helping to reduce it are both attributes that sintering offers as an alternative to soldering in power electronics applications. Doing more with less and, of course, packing more ...
