Iron ore sintering plays a pivotal role in steel production by agglomerating fine iron ore particles into a porous mass suitable for blast furnace use. The optimisation of this process is critical not ...

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 ...

(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.

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is the process of turning digital designs into three-dimensional objects. It is a convenient and affordable way to make prototypes as well as finished products, ...

Silver sintering, as opposed to traditional soldering, is being adopted by leading manufacturers, says Anup Bhalla of UnitedSiC. As well as reducing thermal resistance and increasing reliability, ...

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process. Now, ...

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 ...

Show RCA 2011: German designer Markus Kayser has built a 3D-printing machine that uses sunlight and sand to make glass objects in the desert. Called The Solar Sinter, the device uses a large Fresnel ...
