Highlighting recent advancements in ceramic AM that are coming out of academic labs and are influencing the future of the ...

Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling with the challenge of creating a shape-memory ceramic that can be manufactured ...

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, has a layered structure of carbon rings formed in a hexagonal lattice structure. This arrangement of carbon in two-dimension gives properties such as high thermal ...

Virginia Tech advances additive friction stir deposition - creating a strong, defect-free material that can be 3D printed in bulk.

The dual-phase interpenetrating architecture was came out from the microstructure of natural materials. Based on the such unique structure, bioinspired P/CCSs was designed and fabricated via 3D ...

New perovskite-related material could find applications in sensors, wearables, and printed electronics ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions or allow them to occur at lower temperatures or pressures. 1 When catalysts are used to control and enhance reactions, the process is called ...

The history of synthetic glass-ceramic materials goes back to 1953. Initially, metals were the materials that were being researched for utilization as dental replacements and orthopedic implants.
