Porous α-Al 2 O 3 ceramics are widely used in various applications, including filters, substrates, and biomedical materials. These ceramics can be prepared using several methods, such as partial ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...

In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the lightweight materials of airplanes and rockets might soon be getting stronger. A new method for making ceramic materials — which ...

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, ...
