Researchers in the US have developed a novel 3D-printed smart composite that enables brittle ceramics to bend, absorb energy, and withstand heavy mechanical loads, while being manufactured at full ...

These small and strong materials offer a wide frequency range, suiting a variety of applications and specific design needs without sacrificing performance. Electronic engineers are no strangers to odd ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling with the challenge of creating a shape-memory ceramic that can be manufactured ...

A new class of ceramics are not only transparent, but they can control light with exceptional efficiency—better than any ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Dr. Carl Frahme of The American Ceramic Society about his "Introduction to Ceramic Science, Technology, and Manufacturing" course. I have been active in the ceramics ...

Ceramics are one of the most important sources of information for archaeologists. Yet how these objects are produced, ...

Ceramics are famous for being hard but easy to break. Now, researchers have demonstrated that adding carbon nanotubes to a ceramic material can nearly triple its resistance to fracturing. Since carbon ...

Columbus, Ohio – From cutting-edge photovoltaic power generation systems to substrates for repairing or even growing new human tissue, glass-based materials are playing an expanding role in the ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

Everyone with kitchen experience knows how easy it is to break a ceramic plate. Less well known is the capability of some ceramic materials to become soft and pliable when heated. For years, materials ...

Professors Michel Barsoum and Yury Gogotsi of the College of Engineering’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering have been jointly awarded the 2020 International Ceramics Prize, the highest ...

Researchers have observed a way that the brittle nature of ceramics can be overcome as they sustain heavy loads, leading to more resilient structures such as aircraft engine blade coatings and dental ...
