A Swiss research team has developed a low-temperature sintering and interface-coating process that significantly improves the ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

The complex transport processes contributing to sintering are not yet fully understood, partially because in-situ observations of sintering in three dimensions (3D) are very difficult. Here we report ...

Ultrasonic-assisted hot pressing (UAHP) has shown significant potential in enhancing both densification and mechanical ...

Tolerating heat and helping to reduce it are both attributes that sintering offers as an alternative to soldering in power electronics applications. Doing more with less and, of course, packing more ...

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 ...

A new techno-economic analysis shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental benefits if it moved to free the cold sintering process from languishing in ...

Germany-based companies, 3D-Micromac AG, a provider of laser micromachining systems, and EOS GmbH, an e-Manufacturing group, have teamed up to form a new organization dubbed 3D MicroPrint GmbH. The ...

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) are drawing worldwide attention as a next-generation technology that promises higher energy density and greater safety than today's lithium-ion batteries.

Building prototypes and finished parts in a machine from powdered thermoplastics and metals that are cured by heat from a laser. From CAD drawings that have been cross sectioned into thousands of ...

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is the process of turning digital designs into three-dimensional objects. It is a convenient and affordable way to make prototypes as well as finished products, ...
