The 12th annual Electronic Materials and Applications Conference (EMA 2021) took place virtually on Jan. 19–22, 2021. A record number of registrants tuned in for a week of presentations, networking, panels, and awards.
Read MoreBoth glass and ceramics can be quite brittle. Two recent studies look at increasing the ductility of each—one through the consolidation of glassy nanoparticles, and the other through flash sintering.
Read MoreResearchers have demonstrated that flash sintered yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) acquires metal-like plasticity at room temperature. This discovery could prove to be useful in using YSZ as a thermal barrier coating for aircraft engine blades.
Read MoreA collaboration of researchers from Purdue University and beyond is using a $3 million grant to take an up close look at flash sintering in a massive effort to broaden applications of the technique.
