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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ceramics are amazing materials—strong, light and with amazing thermal properties. Now, researchers have developed a new way to 3D print the materials more effectively than in the past, and the results ...

Scientists in China have developed a new technique for 3D printing of ceramics in the air without the need for supportive structures. This cutting-edge method can construct ceramic parts at almost any ...

This graphic shows the structure of a ceramic created from a Kansas State University-patented waterlike polymer. The ceramic has a random structure that provides stability at high temperatures. The ...

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 ...
