Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State has created seven new high-entropy oxides (HEOS), a class of ceramics composed of ...

The material’s high proton conductivity and chemical stability at temperatures of 200–500 °C can pave the way for more durable fuel cells Fuel cells offer a promising solution for clean energy by ...

From ancient pottery to high-tech engineering, ceramics have come a long way. Can AI and new techniques finally make them ...

Flash sintering is a novel field assisted sintering technique, whereby ceramics can be sintered in just a few seconds. For example, 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) was shown to sinter in 5 ...
