#Researchers develop harder ceramic for armor windows The Department of defense needs materials for armor windows that provide essential protection for both personnel
This harder spinel offers the potential for better armor windows in military vehicles which would give personnel and equipment such as sensors improved protection along with other benefits.
which is important for high window lifetimes. The Hall-Petch relationship has been used to describe the phenomenon where a material's strength
and hardness can be increased by decreasing the average crystallite grain size. However prior experimental work had shown a breakdown in this relationship (where hardness starts reducing with decreasing grain size) for certain ceramics at 130 nanometers.
Remarkably the NRL researchers have disproved that a breakdown in the Hall-Perch effect exists at these nanoscale grain sizes by measuring an increasing hardness down to at least a 28 nanometer crystallite grain size.
In current applications spinel and sapphire (which is also very hard) are used to create materials for military armor windows.
A drawback with sapphire is that it is expensive to make into windows. By increasing the hardness of spinel even further NRL researchers can make a material harder than sapphire
and possibly replace sapphire windows with windows made out of nanocrystalline spinel. Also harder nanocrystalline spinel windows can be made thinner and still meet the current military specifications.
This thinness translates to weight savings on the vehicle. So the NRL-developed nanocrystalline spinel brings improvements in hardness window thickness and weight and cost.
A final benefit is that the NRL-developed nanocrystalline spinel is highly transparent making it useful in UV visible and infrared optics.
A single window that could be produced using the NRL-developed nanocrystalline spinel would be transparent across many technologically important wavelengths easing design
Beyond the use for a harder spinel in armor windows there could be other potential Dod and civilian applications in better/stronger office windows smartphones and tablets screens military/civilian vehicles

The project is part of the Gates Foundation's Reinvent the Toilet Challenge an effort to develop a next-generation toilet that can be used to disinfect liquid and solid waste
Since the 2012 grant Linden and his CU-Boulder team have received an additional $1 million from the Gates Foundation for the project
According to the Gates Foundation the awards recognize researchers who are developing ways to manage human waste that will help improve the health and lives of people around the world.
Linden's team is one of 16 around the world funded by the Gates Reinvent the Toilet Challenge since 2011.
Linden is working closely with project co-investigators Professor R. Scott Summers of environmental engineering and Professor Alan Weimer chemical and biological engineering and a team of postdoctoral fellows professionals graduate students undergraduates
While the current toilet has been created to serve four to six people a day a larger facility that could serve several households simultaneously is under design with the target of meeting a cost level of five cents a day per user set by the Gates Foundation.
The great thing about the Gates Foundation is that they provide all of the teams with the resources they need Linden said.
