Alfred University offers MS and PhD degrees in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). The MS program emphasizes hands-on studies that enable graduates to readily move into careers ranging from ...

As the title suggests loose or embedded abrasive materials are employed to machine away small fragments of a material. In brittle materials such as engineering ceramics, hard abrasive grains are ...

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 ...

Penn State scientists discovered seven new ceramics by simply removing oxygen—opening a path to materials once beyond reach. Sometimes, less truly is more. By removing oxygen during the synthesis ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering have developed and validated a patent-pending method that could expand the industrial applications of ceramics by ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue researchers have observed a way that the brittle nature of ceramics can be overcome as they sustain heavy loads, leading to more resilient structures such as aircraft ...

For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

Seven newly reported ceramics show how a single, counterintuitive move, simply stripping oxygen out of existing compounds, ...

Patrick Lynch (center), a senior glass science major at Alfred University, received the 2024 Alfred R. Cooper Young Scholars Award during the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) Materials Science & ...
