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 ...

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’ ...

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 ...

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, ...

The pump was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with researchers from Purdue University and Stanford University. The research was supported by the ...

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and metal matrix composites (MMCs) have long played an important role for the military and aerospace in protecting military vehicles, as well as spacecraft and space ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make ceramics tougher and more resistant to cracking. By building these materials using a blend of metal atoms possessing more electrons in their outer shell, a ...

(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 ...
