The use of ceramics dates back some 25,000 years, to the oldest human settlements’ use of clay vessels and sculptures. These ceramics, as well as infrastructure components such as bricks, tiles, and ...

With "Protoceramics," the Material Processes and Systems Group at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (MaP+S) sought to investigate the architectural possibilities of a material that might often be ...

Over the past half century ceramics have received significant attention as candidate materials for use as structural materials under conditions of high loading rates, high temperature, wear, and ...

The major attraction of structural ceramics has always been the capability of operating at temperatures far above those of metals. Structural applications now include engine components, cutting tools, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue 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 ...

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, ...

Ceramics are a class of inorganic, non-metallic materials held together through ionic and covalent bonding. Their atomic structure is defined by a rigid lattice network formed during high-temperature ...

Precision Ceramics, a division of McGeoch Technology, is a company dedicated to the engineering of technical ceramics. From procurement and supply through to technical design and specialist machining, ...

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