Electron microscopy and spectroscopy reveal dopant atoms in high permittivity perovskites. Perovskites are ceramics with a structure that gives them remarkable abilities to store electric charge. The ...

Layered perovskites like titanium-added calcium manganese oxide ceramics have attracted attention as materials that can prevent solar heat absorption by reflecting near-infrared (NIR) radiation better ...

Scientists have measured the mechanics of tiny crystalline ceramics. Materials are made of atoms, and if they are arranged periodically, they are called crystalline structures. If the size of these ...

For more than 100 years, scientists have been using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of crystalline materials such as metals, rocks, and ceramics. This technique works best when the ...

Exposure to microwave radiation generates atomic rearrangements in ceramic oxide, opening up new possibilities to use electromagnetic radiation to create bespoke materials. A recent study has revealed ...

Technical ceramics are a class of non-metallic inorganic-based ceramics which provide specific properties, often mechanically or thermal-based, to a given application. There are many types of ...
