Silicon carbide (SiC) is a ceramic known for its excellent heat resistance and chemical stability, which makes it attractive for a wide range of applications like electronics, catalysts and energy-related materials. However, SiC generally requires high-temperature processing, and simultaneously forming and controlling porous structures at the nanometer scale remains challenging.

Graziers urged to vaccinate cattle as unseasonal three day sickness spreads in Queensland In short: Bovine ephemeral fever, also known as three day sickness, causes flu-like symptoms and in severe cases death in cattle. It usually occurs after heavy summer rainfall, but an unseasonal outbreak during the dry is worrying north Queensland vets. There is no risk to humans or meat supply, but graziers are being urged to vaccinate their animals to prevent severe symptoms.
