A research team including scientists from Italian module manufacturer 3Sun has tested new zirconium-doped indium oxide electrodes in commercial heterojunction solar modules. The new electrodes ...

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are incredibly strong materials used in jet engines, gas turbines, and cutting tools for nickel superalloys. Aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3) is hard and chemically inert, ...

Zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) nanomaterials have emerged as versatile photocatalysts owing to their chemical stability, tunable band gaps and robust resistance to photocorrosion. In their pristine form, wide ...

Zirconium phosphate materials encompass a class of inorganic layered compounds, primarily α- and γ-phases, characterised by alternating zirconium oxide layers and phosphate anions. The unique ...

Russia has developed a new process line for manufacturing the zirconium sponge needed for nuclear fuel assemblies. A new facility to make the substance has been launched by Rosatom subsidiary TVEL at ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Japan's Okayama and Toho universities have conducted a first-of-its-kind study to understand how chitons, mollusks that feed on algae growing on ...

In terms of physical dimension and pure aluminum oxide content, aluminum oxide ceramic is the most widely accessible technical ceramic. When a designer is contemplating ceramics as a substitute for ...

Aluminum oxide ceramic is the most readily available technical ceramic in terms of physical size and also pure aluminum oxide content. Aluminum oxide, commonly known as Alumina, should be the first ...

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) provides new insights into oxygen vacancy oscillation modes in amorphous zirconia films. Researchers ...
