Far more than a material for crockery and tableware, ceramics are getting an upgrade in engineering. From electric fields to AI, researchers are transforming these traditional composites. Ceramics are ...

Seven newly reported ceramics show how a single, counterintuitive move, simply stripping oxygen out of existing compounds, can yield entirely new materials. On November 28, 2025, researchers described ...

Flash sintering is a novel field assisted sintering technique, whereby ceramics can be sintered in just a few seconds. For example, 3 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) was shown to sinter in 5 ...

The material’s high proton conductivity and chemical stability at temperatures of 200–500 °C can pave the way for more durable fuel cells Fuel cells offer a promising solution for clean energy by ...

Historically, traditional ceramics like porcelain, brick, and earthenware were primarily composed of clays and silicates and were used by early civilizations to create functional objects. Over time, ...

Aircraft engine manufacturers have spent years investigating exotic materials, in response to passenger, regulatory and cost pressures, that might reduce engine noise, emissions and specific fuel ...

YAKIMA, Wash. -- Janice Crocker and Debbie Sundlee are two Yakima potters who have explored the possibilities of smoke-fired pottery, and their work will be on display at the Boxx Gallery in Tieton ...
