In what they hail as a “new frontier in materials,” engineers at Northeastern University have developed a new type of ceramic that can be fashioned into thin and complex shapes, opening up expansive ...

Ceramic materials are strong and can stand up to heat very well, but they’re notoriously fragile. Now, researchers at Texas A&M have uncovered a previously unknown self-healing mechanism in a certain ...

Modern communication networks and sensing systems are under constant pressure to move more data while consuming less energy.

The components of high-quality lasers can be made of many different materials. Many high-power and solid-state lasers use ceramic materials to generate a laser beam and are seen as an alternative ...

A job shop with a standard capability in CNC machining can produce precision ceramic parts if it chooses the materials properly and approaches the process carefully. Many shops struggle to offset the ...
