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 ...

Zirconium carbide (ZrC) ceramics, essential for hypersonic vehicles and next-generation nuclear systems, are notoriously difficult to sinter and are inherently brittle. Researchers have now developed ...

A fast and accurate surrogate model screens over 10,000 possible metal-oxide supports for a platinum nanocatalyst to prevent sintering under high temperatures. “As particles grow in size, they hide ...

Scientists at Harbin University in China have devised a novel two-step process that uses ...

Porous α-Al 2 O 3 ceramics are widely used in various applications, including filters, substrates, and biomedical materials. These ceramics can be prepared using several methods, such as partial ...
