Ceramic components join together with a bang

Article Abstract:

Researchers at the University of Cambridge Department of Materials Science and Technology are developing a new technique to join together ceramic components. The process passes a massive current through a metal foil placed between the ceramic components, causing the metal to evaporate and bond the two materials together. Possible applications include joining ceramics to metals, mounting ceramic wear components on the engine rockers of cars and encapsulating semiconductors.

Radio waves transmit information underwater

Article Abstract:

A system is developed that permits the transmission of electronic data underwater, using electromagnetic radio waves. Although this is not suitable for voice transmission over long distances, it does allow voice transmission over short distances and the transmission of data at high rates for control and telemetry, which makes it suitable for use in military situation.
