Silicon nitride ceramics are widely used in structural applications because they have low density yet are very tough. Their damage tolerance is based upon an interlocking microstructure of elongated ...

(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.

Selective powder sintering for 3D printing has recently become an increasingly affordable solution for manufacturing made-to-order elements of almost any shape or geometry. This technique involves ...

Renewably sourced biomaterials and lower sintering temperature result in a more sustainable substrate for powder bed fusion technologies requiring less energy use and a carbon footprint 89% smaller ...

Scientists have reinvented a 26,000-year-old manufacturing process into an innovative approach to fabricating ceramic materials that has promising applications for solid-state batteries, fuel cells, ...
