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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ceramics are inorganic materials composed of metallic, nonmetallic, and metalloid components. An industry-relevant property of ceramics are their robustness, and applications include their ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientific and technological advances shape the face of industry today. In order for engineers, technologists and managers to keep up with the swift changes in the field, they must be lifelong ...
