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 ...

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 ...

Advanced ceramics, which are also described as engineered, fine or technical ceramics, have been used as solutions to many severe material problems over the past 30 to 40 years. These problems include ...

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, ...

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 ...
