Professors Michel Barsoum and Yury Gogotsi of the College of Engineering’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering have been jointly awarded the 2020 International Ceramics Prize, the highest ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

In the history of engineering ceramics applications, there have been many examples where imitated designs based on a metal’s performance have resulted in considerable failures of ceramic components.

Here, we propose grain orientation engineering to greatly reduce the electric-field-induced strain in multilayered capacitors. The basis of this approach is the strong electrostrictive anisotropy in ...

Compared to metal and polymer-based materials, ceramics can better withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, but their brittle nature often makes them susceptible to breakage. This ...

Scintillators are a class of materials that convert high-energy radiation into visible or ultraviolet light, with wide applications in fields such as high-energy physics and medical imaging.

Moiré superlattices formed by stacking layered van der Waals (vdW) crystalline sheets with slight relative rotations (twist angles) about the stacking direction have prompted intensive research ...
