Helping people remain healthy and fit for as long as possible will be crucial as populations around the world get older.

In addition to plain, hard solids, modern ceramics come in many new guises such as fabrics, ultrathin films, microstructures and hybrid composites. Built on the solid foundations laid down by the ...

He has taught this course for over 25 years. Dr. Jeffery J. Swab received a BS in Ceramic Science & Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University and his MS and PhD in Material Science & ...

[Ben Krasnow] over at Applied Science was experimenting with cutting inexpensive ceramic sheets with his cheap CO2 laser cutter when he found that (just as expected) the thermal shock of the CO2 ...

The steps in production of fired ceramic articles, including powder preparation, compaction and forming, and firing, will be studied. The following list of topics will be covered: powder synthesis and ...

The researchers achieved this by leveraging the chemical versatility of pre-ceramic polymers through the Polymer-Derived Ceramic (PDC) process. This collaborative effort brought together experts ...

In a new study published in Nature, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and collaborators show that the efficacy of a commonly used piezoelectric ceramic material can be ...

Aluminum nitride ceramics first stand out with their excellent thermal properties. It has extremely high thermal conductivity, which makes it highly favored in the field of electronic packaging. The ...
