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 ...

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 ...

We first present images of sample H1, which is patterned so current flows in a bar with a width that is smaller than that of a single image. In a simulated flux image for current flowing in a sample ...

Ordinary materials can transform into novel phases at extraordinary high pressure and temperature. The recently developed method of ultrashort laser-induced confined microexplosions initiates a ...

Zirconia (ZrO 2) is best known among ceramics as being both hard and fracture-tough at room temperature. Additionally, its fine (sub-micron) grain size enables excellent surface finishes and the ...
