They break easily under stress. But now, researchers have found a solution that could make ceramics harder to break. They published their work recently in Science Advances. The study, led by UC San ...

Penn State researchers created seven new high-entropy oxides by removing oxygen during synthesis, enabling metals that normally destabilize to form rock-salt ceramics. Machine learning helped identify ...

Spacecraft and nuclear reactors rely on ceramics that can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °C. But the traditional process to make these specialty ceramics requires heating the raw materials in a ...

Samples of a class of ceramics, known as high-entropy carbides, that have been engineered to withstand more force and stress before breaking. Researchers have discovered a way to make ceramics tougher ...
