EPCG plans to build Montenegro’s first floating solar power plant, China’s fusion research is heating up, and more ceramic and glass business news of the week for July 5, 2021.
Read MoreMaterials for 6G technology: Scientists refine synthesis of rare iron oxide phase
The epsilon phase of iron(III) oxide exhibits many desirable properties for application in 6G technology, but synthesizing the material is complex. Researchers in Russia refined a silica-based synthesis method that is reproducible, cheap, easily implemented, and only takes a day to perform.

Read MoreFrontiers of Ceramics & Glass Webinar Series: Synthesis and performance of ceramic-based biological composites
Hosted by the Colorado Section, this webinar from Prof. David Kisailus describes the increasing need for the development of multifunctional lightweight materials with high strength and toughness.
Read MoreA concentrated effort—researchers develop ceramic lattice structures for high-temperature heat exchangers
In concentrated solar power systems, higher operating temperature leads to greater efficiency—if the thermal energy is properly managed. Heat exchangers are one option for thermal management, and researchers in Switzerland and Italy explored designing ceramic lattice structures for use in such devices.
