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 ...

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 ...

Penn State researchers, including graduate student Ta-Wei Wang, pictured, recently published their work investigating the application of an advanced manufacturing technique in battery creation.

Lithium-ion batteries have been a staple in device manufacturing for years, but the liquid electrolytes they rely on to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazards and safety concerns. Now, ...

(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.

Flash sintering is a novel field assisted sintering technique, whereby ceramics can be sintered in just a few seconds. For example, 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) was shown to sinter in 5 ...

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

Material sciences researchers are often looking for ways to improve the strength and viability of materials for a wide range of industries, including the construction industry. The need for processes ...

The Temporal Fusion Transformer model provides near-real-time insights into sintering temperatures, addressing critical challenges in steelmaking processes.
