In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...

The same material from which you drink your morning coffee could transform the way scientists detect disease, purify water, and insulate space shuttles thanks to an entirely new approach to ceramic ...

Researchers have used 3-D printing to create ceramic structures from silicon polymers. Scientists at HRL Laboratories LLC in Malibu, Calif., announced their process overcomes the limitations of ...

The dual-phase interpenetrating architecture was came out from the microstructure of natural materials. Based on the such unique structure, bioinspired P/CCSs was designed and fabricated via 3D ...

Ceramics are amazing materials—strong, light and with amazing thermal properties. Now, researchers have developed a new way to 3D print the materials more effectively than in the past, and the results ...

Compared to metal and polymer-based materials, ceramics can better withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, but their brittle nature often makes them susceptible to breakage. This ...

Kyocera Corporation (President: Shiro Sakushima; "Kyocera") today announced that it is commercializing a new multilayer ...

Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions or allow them to occur at lower temperatures or pressures. 1 When catalysts are used to control and enhance reactions, the process is called ...

Ceramic fragments and figures found at the Neolithic site of Mureybet, in Syria's Middle Euphrates valley, indicate that clay and fire work date back to the 7th millennium BC. This means that dealing ...
