U.S. aluminum buyers hunt for alternatives as Iran war upends global supply
Aluminum buyers in the U.S. are rushing to secure alternative supplies from Asia as the war on Iran disrupts a major foreign source. Read on

A breakthrough for solar durability: UNSW researchers discovered that thicker aluminum oxide layers protect TOPCon solar cells from UV damage by blocking hydrogen migration.
The culprit? High-energy UV photons break chemical bonds, releasing hydrogen that degrades performance. But 7nm AlOx layers act as an effective barrier.

Thicker alumunium oxide layers can reduce ultraviolet-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells
UNSW researchers developed an experimentally validated model linking UV-induced degradation in TOPCon solar cells to hydrogen transport, charge trapping, and permanent structural changes in the passivation stack. They show that thicker aluminum oxide layers significantly improve UV resilience by limiting hydrogen migration, offering clear guidance for more robust TOPCon designs.

Recently picked up a "ceramic" coated frying pan for the first time and wondering what it's actually made of and how it's put on.
From the color I'm guessing alumina or maybe silica is likely? Sintered powder coating then firing? My first inclination for putting such a layer on something would be CVD but that's probably too expensive for the thicknesses and production volumes in question, but I feel like a sintered powder layer would be too porous.

Plus it’s obviously handy for thawing meat
