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 ...

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 ...

Understanding the classification of objects is important for discerning their cultural significance. However, there has been very limited work on modern pottery classification systems of Bantu ...

Ceramic materials can maintain structural integrity at extremely high temperatures. This makes them ideal for aerospace applications, such as jet engine parts that endure intense heat during operation ...
