What if—instead of redesigning individual materials to make them stronger, lighter, cheaper, and greener—we could rethink a single processing method to improve various different materials? Such a reality may be closer than you think.
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.
Read MoreResearchers at San Diego State University now report that they have developed an ultra-rapid method of flash spark plasma sintering, called flash hot pressing, that can really quickly densify even hard-to-deform materials such as silicon carbide.
Read MoreScientists at Singapore’s A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) have developed a “durable and permanent” ceramic coating that is not only transparent but superhydrophillic.
