In what they hail as a “new frontier in materials,” engineers at Northeastern University have developed a new type of ceramic that can be fashioned into thin and complex shapes, opening up expansive ...

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 ...

Some ceramics have been made to self-heal these cracks, but it usually requires chemical reactions that take place at very high temperatures. For the new study, the researchers found that a particular ...
