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 ...

While the method of flash sintering can reduce the temperatures and time required to process ceramics in comparison with traditional methods, the technique often ...

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process. Now, ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...

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) For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics with a two-dimensional material that opens the door to new designs of nanocomposites with a variety of ...
