Nature stimulates innovation. An international research team led by researchers at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, along with ESRF -the European Synchrotron, Grenoble, France- scientists, has exposed how a brittle star can form material like tempered glass underwater.
Solid glass acts similar to slow-moving liquids and can be seen by looking at the waves at the bottom of old window panes.
Researchers wanting lead-free materials for use in sensors, ultrasonic motors, and actuators have recently chosen a type of ceramic frequently referred to as BCZT to work with. A recent study by physicists at the University of Arkansas reveals how this material functions, providing insights that may lead to other lead-free materials being created as well.
The first transparent sample of a well-known industrial ceramic has been synthesized by scientists at DESY. In the journal Scientific Reports, the Japanese-German team writes that the outcome is a super-hard window made of cubic silicon nitride capable of potentially being used under severe conditions like that in engines.
An elegant approach for ultrafine-grained ceramic coatings has been explained by researcher Pylin Sarobol in a rather inelegant manner - sub-micron particles splatting onto a surface.
In today�s industry, machines and devices need to be able to endure harsh conditions. The volume of the materials used in these devices typically changes a little, mostly by less than 0.01% when there is a change in the environmental temperature.
At the 25th edition of Tecnargilla, the reference international fair for the ceramics industry and construction, we will be presenting important solutions based on smart manufacturing and artificial intelligence, where innovation and advanced technology have achieved the new idea of the flexible, connected, global factory.
Lucifer Furnaces recently delivered a bench style box furnace for batch heat treating small loads of low carbon steel. Model RD7-KHE24, with 7 KW power, heats to 2200°F with easy-to-replace wire wound heating elements in removable holders.
PI Ceramic is expanding its portfolio of round multilayer piezo actuators. They are now available without inner hole in lengths of 16 mm, 36 mm or 77 mm and provide travel ranges from 14 µm to 70 µm. The diameter is 16 mm.
Scientists from Hokkaido University and the multinational Japanese electronics company TDK Corporation have discovered a new process to enhance the insulating properties of oxynitride perovskite SrTaO2N. This material could potentially be used as a ceramic capacitor.
