It’s light enough to balance on a fuzzy blade of grass, incredibly heat-resistant, and can be squished like a marshmallow. It’s also a ceramic. Read on.

Ceramics are versatile materials, as they’re not only known for their heat resistance, but also their strong qualities that make the materials perfect for pottery, armor, and various other consumer ...

S cientists have predicted and experimentally confirmed the existence of a material with “hybrid crystal-glass thermal ...

The promise of additive manufacturing or 3-D printing—faster and cheaper manufacturing of more customizable parts—is limited by the palette of printable materials, which until now has included ...

The resulting powder can then be sprayed as a slurry onto the substrate before the component, now coated, is itself heat-treated at elevated temperatures. By incorporating ceramic inclusions into the ...

But most (e.g., powder soldering) require heat, which is problematic because glass-ceramic and metal have inherently different coefficients of thermal expansion, and glass-ceramic is brittle.

Bring the heat Researchers placed a fresh flower atop a 2-centimeter-thick piece of a new insulator and lit a flame underneath (as seen in the photo on the left and the heat map on the right ...

The prior cash influx played a role in the development of the ceramic shield, a new screen material that made the new iPhone 12 lineup more drop-resistant than prior iPhone models.
