Green bodies' porous structure, i.e. mesostructure, affects dramatically the functional parameters of the optical ceramics obtained by reactive sintering. Characteristics of the mesostructure are ...

We investigate the reactive flash sintering of Mg0.2Ni0.2Co0.2Cu0.2Zn0.2O precursor powders prepared by a polymeric synthesis route. The flash experiments were performed at a constant heating rate of ...

We show that flash experiments with three phase mixed‐powders of yttria stabilized zirconia (8YSZ), MgO, and α‐Al2O3 not only produce polycrystals of high density, but also the transformation of ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics are an important class of materials with widespread applications in electronics and energy storage due to their high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability.

An ultrafast method can drastically reduce the time needed to synthesize ceramics, cutting prep time from several hours to less than a minute (Science 2020, DOI: 10.1126/science.aaz7681). The ...

REACTIVE hot pressing is a new process by which powdered materials can be densified and materials of considerable strength can be produced. The term ‘reactive hot pressing’ is new and has been coined ...
