A cheap and efficient way of making ceramic films has earned a patent for a team of chemists at the University of Massachusetts. Professor Patricia Bianconi and her team of two graduate students, ...

An ultrafast method can drastically reduce the time needed to synthesize ceramics, cutting prep time from several hours to less than a minute (Science 2020, DOI: 10.1126/science.aaz7681). The ...

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 ...

A new process for incorporating fortifying agents into ceramic could strengthen the materials used in aerospace engineering. In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the ...

Whatever problems you have, when you sit down in the workshop, all of that falls away,” Ms. Mateo said on a rain-drenched January afternoon, seated in the clapboard kitchen of her home in Patamban, a ...
