Electronic engineers are no strangers to odd-sounding and difficult-to-pronounce methods and mater ial s . However, the words piezoelectric ceramics still trip up even the most experienced designers.

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 ...

They break easily under stress. But now, researchers have found a solution that could make ceramics harder to break. They published their work recently in Science Advances. The study, led by UC San ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Advanced ceramic and glass materials are critical to aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing including hardware for quantum ...

A material called mother of pearl, or nacre, has inspired the design of more durable, less brittle ceramics. Nacre, which naturally coats pearls, is made of neatly stacked microplates. Researchers ...

Demystify glaze chemistry in this five-day intensive that blends science with studio experimentation. Participants will mix and test daily glaze batches, learning to understand the relationships ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has figured out how to make ceramics that bend and mush instead of shattering (though under enough pressure they will still crack). That's a potentially lifesaving discovery: Heat ...

What makes a good construction material? There are many requirements, but one is the ability to efficiently connect different parts. Steel is almost the perfect example: you can join steel with ...
