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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have successfully been able to transfer the experience from furnace to laboratory while synthesizing nanoscale materials using simple and highly efficient flame technology. This "baking" of ...

In terms of physical dimension and pure aluminum oxide content, aluminum oxide ceramic is the most widely accessible technical ceramic. When a designer is contemplating ceramics as a substitute for ...

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 ...

As the name suggests, rare earth elements are difficult to obtain in large amounts due to being evenly distributed over the Earth. Due to their similar chemical characteristics and their original ...

Oxide ceramic nanoparticles such as silica, alumina, titania, zirconia, have all been produced with improved properties. Silica nanoparticles have been used for biomedical applications, such as in ...

Recently, the international refractory manufacturer started production of the innovative ALTRA FLEX® oxide ceramic continuous fibre in K99 and M75 qualities. RATH has been developing oxide ceramic ...
