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 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 ...

A new techno-economic analysis shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental benefits if it moved to free the cold sintering process from languishing in ...

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 ...

(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.

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, ...

A new techno-economic analysis, by a team led by a researcher from WMG at the University of Warwick, shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental ...
