M7C3: Unveiling the structure of a misunderstood carbide

By Lisa McDonald / August 26, 2022

The use of data-driven methods to tailor the growth characteristics, stability, and mechanical properties of M7C3-type carbides is hindered by ambiguity surrounding the carbide’s structure. To overcome this uncertainty, researchers from the United States and Israel used a variety of imaging techniques to reveal the atomistic structure of M7C3 carbides.

Amorphous calcium carbonate opens door to low-temperature 3D printing of ceramic materials

By Lisa McDonald / October 5, 2021

It can be difficult to incorporate organic additives into 3D-printed ceramic materials because the parts require high-temperature heat treatment to reach final density. Researchers in Israel developed a new low-temperature 3D printing process using amorphous calcium carbonate.

Modeling ceramic conduction: Researchers update small-polaron transport model to account for complex oxide systems

By Lisa McDonald / October 30, 2020

To describe electronic charge transport in oxides, researchers rely on a small-polaron transport model that was developed six decades ago for binary oxides rather than higher-order systems. Researchers from Cornell University and Technion–Israel Institute of Technology have now updated the model with additional parameters to more accurately model complex oxide systems.

Brittle starfish offers lessons in creating durable ceramics

By Faye Oney / December 12, 2017

Scientists have discovered that a brittle starfish has the capability to create a durable “tempered” ceramic material while underwater. Its process is similar to the creation of tempered glass, but without the heating and cooling process.
