barium titanate
Common teeth whitening methods can damage teeth. Researchers in China propose a tooth whitening method based on the piezocatalysis effect may serve as an effective, nondestructive alternative.
Read MoreResearchers often use similar defect models for barium titanate and strontium titanate even though the materials experience different dominant metal vacancies. New research suggests this practice is suitable in some cases, but researchers should tread more carefully in others.
Read MoreResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology may be on to something that can help with better monitoring of ceramic capacitors—they have devised a new nondestructive method that may be able to detect cracks in materials before they lead to device failure.
