Laying the groundwork: Understanding how external fields affect ceramic sintering

By Jonathon Foreman / March 22, 2019

Field-assisted sintering techniques (FAST) offer a way to lower firing temperatures and cycle times of sintering processes. The feature article in the January 2019 issue of Journal of the American Ceramic Society summarizes discussions from a workshop aimed at understanding the mechanisms behind FAST.

Food inspires research: Jell-O catalyst and coffee-ring MOFs

By Lisa McDonald / January 4, 2019

While food inspires many people to try cooking new recipes, scientists of two studies used food as inspiration for their research. Find out how Jell-O led to a new hydrogen fuel catalyst, and learn how coffee rings inspired MOF-based biosensors.

‘Group additivity’ approach to Pourbaix diagrams predicts metals’ reactions with water

By Faye Oney / June 20, 2017

Researchers have developed a computational method to predict how metals react in water. Their “group additivity” approach to Pourbaix diagrams enables them to determine metals’ potential for corrosion.

Video: The science of sweat—wearable sensor monitors health through perspiration

By Stephanie Liverani / February 3, 2016

Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a prototype for a flexible, wearable sensor system that can monitor a person’s health through perspiration.

Now you see it, now you don’t—scientists developing real ‘ultrathin’ invisibility cloak with scale-up potential

By Stephanie Liverani / September 22, 2015

The concept of the invisibility cloak is no longer limited to the pages of J.K. Rowling’s fictional masterpieces. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley are developing this technology for scalable, real-world applications.

First and largest 3-D printed cement structure blooms at UC Berkeley campus

By Jessica McMathis / April 9, 2015

Cool Brick designer and University of California, Berkeley assistant professor Ronald Rael is turning heads once more with Bloom—the “first and largest powder-based 3-D printed cement structure to date.”

Silicon and silicon carbide nanowire breakthrough could lead to roll-out solar panels and flexible electronics

By Eileen De Guire / August 20, 2013

A University of California, Berkeley group has a new method for growing semiconducting nanowire arrays on graphene that could lead to roll-out solar panels, flexible electronics, and more efficient batteries…
