In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers at the University of Houston have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under ...

Compared to metal and polymer-based materials, ceramics can better withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, but their brittle nature often makes them susceptible to breakage. This ...

Coating ceramic schwarzites, 3D-printed lattices, with a thin polymer helps keep them from shattering under pressure, according to materials scientists. A thin shell of soft polymer can help keep ...

A breakthrough in ceramics manufacturing has been achieved by a team of scientists in China who have developed a new 3D printing technique. As reported by the South China Morning Post, the new method ...

Using a new 3D printing technique, researchers have developed special ceramic structures for a solar reactor. Initial experimental testing show that these structures can boost the production yield of ...

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 ...

When Japanese American artist Jun Kaneko was first approached by Portland Japanese Garden staff to host an exhibition, he didn’t respond to them for weeks on end. “I had it on my table for about two ...

Engineered living materials typically consist of soft hydrogels, polymers, or biofilms seeded with microorganisms that allow the materials to sense and degrade toxins, deliver therapies, and repair ...

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

(Nanowerk News) A thin shell of soft polymer can help keep knotty ceramic structures from shattering, according to materials scientists at Rice University. Ceramics made with 3D printers crack under ...
