Ceramics are defined as inorganic, non-metallic, polycrystalline carbide, nitride, or oxide materials. Some of their examples are Tungsten carbide, Silicon carbide, Zinc oxide, Titanium carbide, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

This review proposes to achieve the targeted development and fabrication of high-performance high-temperature electromagnetic shielding ceramics through microstructural engineering, additive ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

In the history of engineering ceramics applications, there have been many examples where imitated designs based on a metal’s performance have resulted in considerable failures of ceramic components.

A new type of material, made up of nanoscale struts crisscrossed like the struts of a tiny Eiffel Tower, is one of the strongest and lightest substances ever made. Tiny trusses: A scanning electron ...

The technological development of humanity was supported in its early stages by natural materials such as bone, wood and shells. As history advanced, these materials were slowly replaced by synthetic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nature has perfected what human engineering still struggles to achieve: creating materials that can adapt, sense their environment, and transform harmful substances into useful ...

New 'zentropy theory' based on quantum mechanics could unlock seemingly impossible electronic devices made with transparent ...

Brake pads look like a simple wear item, but the material you choose quietly reshapes how your car stops, how often you visit the shop, and even how dirty your wheels get. The real tradeoff between ...
