Transparent ceramics make super-hard windows
Scientists have synthesised the first transparent sample of a popular industrial ceramic at DESY. The result is a super-hard window made of cubic silicon nitride that can potentially be used under extreme conditions like engines, as the Japanese-German team writes in the journal Scientific Reports. Cubic silicon nitride (c-Si3N4) forms under high pressure and is the second hardest transparent nanoceramic after diamond but can withstand substantia...

Indium expert presenting at PCIM and SMT Hybrid Packaging
Presenting at PCIM Europe 2017 and at SMT Hybrid Packaging on 16th May in Nuremberg, Germany, is the Regional Technical Manager of Indium Corporation, Andreas Karch, in charge of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.Karch will present ‘Performance of Current Flux Systems in Solder Pastes to Increase the Electrical Reliability of Assemblies.’
High-density resistor networks aid critical applications
TT Electronics has launched the QSOP-C and SOIC-C high-density resistor networks that combine high precision with stability and reliability. By using a ceramic substrate and a relatively large feature size, they offer better cross-talk performance than types based on silicon substrates.
Earth oxide coatings develop water-repelling properties
Surfaces that have been coated with rare earth oxides develop water-repelling properties only after contact with air. Even at room temperature, chemical reactions begin with hydrocarbons in the air. In the journal Scientific Reports, researchers from the University of Basel, the Swiss Nanoscience Institute and the Paul Scherrer Institute report that it is these reactions that are responsible for the hydrophobic effect.
Bidirectional radio frequency amplifier module for telemetry markets
International Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave solutions provider, NuWaves Engineering has announced the addition of their latest miniaturised bidirectional amplifier to their line of NuPower Xtender bidirectional amplifier products.
Gold coating could control luminescence of nanowires
Physicists at the University of Cincinnati are working to harness the power of nanowires, microscopic wires that have the potential to improve solar cells or revolutionisefibreoptics.Nanotechnology has the potential to solve the bottleneck that occurs in storing or retrieving digital data - or could store data in a completely new way. UC professors and their graduate students presented their research at the March 13 conference of the American Phy...
Halsic-N production expanded to meet market demand
As recent forecasts estimate enviable growth of 69% in the global ceramics industry between 2014 and 2020, one global materials specialist is already boosting production capability for the luxury ceramic tableware market, in respond to demand from across Europe.Morgan Advanced Materials has further developed a range of kiln furniture made from a specially-formulated material which offers increased strength and resilience and therefore, lower main...
