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 ...

Microwave cold sintering process (MW-CSP) was used to densify NaCl, KDP, MgMoO₄, Li₂MoO₄, and TiO₂ ceramics. Under the fundamental densification mechanisms dominated by the coupling of the transient ...

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, ...

Sintering process simulation software corrects for shrinkage and distortion of binder jet 3D printed parts during sintering, minimizing trial and error Live Sinter ...

Editor’s note: A recognized expert in powder injection molding (PIM), Randall German is Brush Chair Professor in Materials at Penn State University. PIM takes advantage of the fluid-like behavior of ...

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 ...

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 ...
