In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...
Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...
Lithium-ion batteries have been a staple in device manufacturing for years, but the liquid electrolytes they rely on to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazards and safety concerns. Now, ...

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 ...
Penn State researchers developed a low-temperature (150°C) method to produce solid-state battery electrolytes. Solid-state batteries offer greater energy density, safety, and charging speed, but have ...
Ceramic materials are ubiquitous in the world of construction. Building materials such as cement, bricks, tiles, or electrical insulators like porcelain are all ceramic products that we rely on in our ...
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 ...
Penn State researchers, including graduate student Ta-Wei Wang, pictured, recently published their work investigating the application of an advanced manufacturing technique in battery creation.
