Researchers at the University of Houston have created flexible, durable ceramic materials using origami-inspired designs and polymer coatings. Bendable ceramic origami material created in the UH lab ...

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...

Zirconium carbide (ZrC) ceramics, essential for hypersonic vehicles and next-generation nuclear systems, are notoriously difficult to sinter and are inherently brittle. Researchers have now developed ...

Researchers have used 3-D printing to create ceramic structures from silicon polymers. Scientists at HRL Laboratories LLC in Malibu, Calif., announced their process overcomes the limitations of ...

Where high temperatures, aggressive chemical environments, and demanding mechanical conditions come together, ceramics can provide superior performance to metals. In such environments, ceramic-based ...

In defining optimisation blocks, three groups build a thermal-management system. RTT indicates the total thermal resistance from the LED’s heat slug to the surroundings. For validation purposes, a ...

A research team led by Professor Lu Jian, Dean of the College of Engineering and Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong, has discovered for the ...
