Researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Center Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (CSEM) in Switzerland developed a novel single-step thermal annealing process for ...

Induction annealing provides precise and reliable control of metal material properties. It is predominantly used for soft and stress-relief annealing, providing a number of advantages over traditional ...

ZnO varistor ceramics were synthesised by cold sintering/spark plasma sintering and post-annealing treatment. Intriguingly, the ZnO varistor ceramics present ultrahigh potential gradient, high ...

We use metals in construction, domestic appliances, vehicles, and many other everyday products. It really can be said that metals have built the modern world. To fine-tune the desired properties of ...

A hydrogen-based two-step annealing process improves SiC MOS device efficiency and reliability, expanding voltage range for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. SiC power devices offer ...

The art and science of quantum annealing to arrive at a best of all worlds answer to difficult questions has been well understood for years (even if implementing it as a computational device took time ...
