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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue researchers have observed a way that the brittle nature of ceramics can be overcome as they sustain heavy loads, leading to more resilient structures such as aircraft ...

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 ...

Thermo-compression processing optimizes Cu/SiC composites, improving strength and toughness by improving particle ...
