2) Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) Fuel cells where solid ceramic ion conductors such as YSZ are used as electrolytes to generate electricity through the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.

Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo, have succeeded in directly demonstrating the existence of space charge layers at the grain boundaries of YSZ by observing local electric fields ...

Researchers have developed soft, flexible sensors based on ceramics that can be used in the development of robotics and ...

Researchers at the Cockrell School of Engineering, part of the University of Texas, summarize their new invention as a ...

Chlorophyll (a naturally occurring pigment involved in photosynthesis)-inspired molecules hold promise for developing next-generation light-harvesting materials. However, achieving precise control ...

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, researchers have installed the world's first microscope capable of live imaging of biological ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible.

You might not think of ceramics as the future of robotics, but this new development will make you think again. Ceramics are often used in the creation of delicate teacups and sturdy tiles.

But there's a way to keep that high going longer. Applying a ceramic coating to your car's exterior will toughen up its paint and keep it looking great for years. Ceramic coating is a liquid ...

Biomedical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies principles and design concepts of engineering to healthcare. Biomedical engineers deal with medical devices such as imaging equipment ...

The Francis College of Engineering has been recognized as exemplar and with a Bronze Award for the inaugural ASEE Diversity Recognition Program. The ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) was ...
