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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Say the word ceramic and many people think of teacups or plates that shatter when dropped. Although scientists value high-quality ceramics, such as those used to shield spacecraft from heat, for their ...

Ceramics have many useful properties: they can be extremely durable, and hold up to very high temperatures. Unfortunately simple flaws in the material can leave the door open for catastrophic failures ...

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 ...
