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, ...

Silver sintering, as opposed to traditional soldering, is being adopted by leading manufacturers, says Anup Bhalla of UnitedSiC. As well as reducing thermal resistance and increasing reliability, ...

In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is the process of turning digital designs into three-dimensional objects. It is a convenient and affordable way to make prototypes as well as finished products, ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed what could be a much quicker and easier technique for astronauts to make building-construction bricks out of lunar soil. The secret lies in heating that moon dust, then ...
