Disclosed are fast high-temperature sintering systems and methods. A method of fabrication includes positioning a material at a distance of 0-1 centimeters from a first conductive carbon element and at a distance of 0-1 centimeters from a second conductive carbon element, heating the first conductive carbon element and the second conductive carbon element by electrical current to a temperature between 500 C. and 3000 C., inclusive, and fabricating a sintered material by heating the material with the heated first conductive carbon element and the heated second conductive carbon element for a time period between one second and one hour. Other variations of the fast high-temperature sintering systems and methods are also disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods can quickly fabricate unique structures not feasible with conventional sintering processes.
