Many applications require joining metals to ceramics, such as sealing electrodes to glass enclosures for light bulbs. Such joints need to provide continuous chemical contact across the interface ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...

Increased demand for mass production of ceramics with binder jet is being driven by applications in aerospace, automotive, energy, consumer electronics, and subtractive manufacturing Customers ...

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 ...

From color to craftsmanship, ceramic hardware is poised to reshape kitchen and bathroom design in 2026, according to top ...

A team led by researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has created a super-strong yet light structural metal with extremely high specific strength and modulus, ...

Brake pads look like a simple wear item, but the material you choose quietly reshapes how your car stops, how often you visit ...

Ceramic, a kind of poly-crystalline monolith sintered by inorganic, non-metallic crystallites, is normally opaque due to defects, voids and birefringence. If the inner light scatter is eliminated, ...

Ceramic brake pads combine ceramic fibers with other materials to offer quieter, cleaner braking. Semi-metallic pads use heavier metals for better performance.

Purdue researchers observed how ceramics formed under an electric field surprisingly change shape rather than break when compressed at high strain. Purdue researchers discovered that some ceramics’ ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 engine ...

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 ...
