A team of physicists recently discovered a new phase of water ice, after they put ordinary ice under extraordinarily high pressure and melted it before letting it refreeze. The previously unknown ...

Tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP) is commonly stabilized with 3% to 5% Yttria and has the finest grain size. Since they are almost entirely tetragonal, these zirconia grades have the maximum ...

Researchers have developed a new water-soluble sacrificial layer, "super-tectragonal" Sr 4 Al 2 O 7 (SAO T), with broad tunability in lattice constants, which can be used to prepare high-quality ...

Schematic illustration of water-assisted exfoliation of freestanding oxide membranes from SAO C and SAO T sacrificial layers. Freestanding oxide membrane is a type of low-dimensional quantum material ...

Engineering ceramics such as zirconia (ZrO 2), alumina (Al 2 O 3), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4), silicon carbide (SiC) etc. have been used more frequently in engineering applications as engineers and ...
