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 ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...

Archaeologists uncover a 3,000-year-old workshop in Iraq, revealing how Iron Age communities crafted ceramics and organized production.

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

Ceramics also allow precise control over chemical composition and are easier to scale for mass production. The main obstacle, however, has always been transparency. Tiny internal defects normally ...

Utilizing waste cotton fabric as a dual-functional flexible substrate and carbon source, this work enabled vapor-liquid-solid ...

Denise Antunes da Silva named Fellow of the American Ceramic Society for her contributions to materials science.

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

Three of the seven newly synthesized high-entropy oxide ceramic pellets. Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State created ...
