The 3rd Iranian Refractory Symposium report is published in the refractories WORLDFORUM journal.

The Boca Bearing Company is proud to announce the new Lightning Bearing Technology (LBT) line of ceramic bicycle bearings for hubs, bottom brackets, headsets and pivot points. Ceramic by its nature is lighter than steel by about 2/3 the weight, it is harder than steel when it is in ball form and it is virtually frictionless because it is non-porous. 

Morgan Technical Ceramics (MTC) ElectroCeramics, leading manufacturer of ceramic components, has launched a new sensor which is ideal for reliable and precise heat energy and water flow measurement. The high performance ultrasonic sensors enable designers and OEMs to build accurate measurement equipment including smart metering systems, which are critical to helping society understand and reduce energy usage.

SCHOTT presented its thin and ultra-thin glass wafers, as well as sheets for semiconductorsand optoelectronics, at the recent Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC) in Las Vegas, Nev. SCHOTT’s broad portfolio of glass wafers and substrates reportedly is known for its chemical and thermomechanical properties and surface qualities.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers, along with a team from UC Santa Cruz (UCSC), have devised a method for doubling the performance of 3-D-printed graphene-based supercapacitors.The method, which involves sandwiching lithium ion and perchlorate ion between layers of graphene in aerogel electrodes, substantially improved the capacity of the electrodes while still maintaining the devices’ excellent rate capability, the researchers discovered. Their findings are featured as the back cover for the June edition of the journal ChemNanoMat.

Silver, meet graphene. Super strong, super light, near totally transparent and one of the best conductors of electricity ever discovered, graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms that owes its amazing properties to being two-dimensional. Graphene, meet silver. Silver is a high-quality noble metal that corrodes very slowly in moist air and doesn’t typically interact chemically with other substances. Graphene, meanwhile, is a sought-after platform for new physics and device applications.
