WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- More powerful and more durable diesel, aircraft and gas-turbine engines may rev up soon, says a Purdue University engineer who is investigating using ceramics to protect engine ...

Using charged particles as if they were really tiny tack hammers, scientists find they can ”nail” metal molecules to ceramic surfaces, dramatically reducing friction and, possibly, making it feasible ...

Cast iron and aluminum alloy have long been the most common materials for blocks, pistons, cylinder heads, and other major components inside an engine. Nissan filed a patent a couple of years back for ...

GTE Laboratories Inc. said it has made progress in development of a sturdy ceramic composite for automobile engines by adding ”whiskers” of silicon carbide to the material. Until now, ceramic engine ...

A flexible ceramic has properties similar to metal. It's tougher than the latter, but you can flex it like no other. A new study from a group of Chinese scientists suggests that it can revolutionize a ...

NISKAYUNA, N.Y. — For nearly three decades Krishan Luthra stubbornly labored away in a General Electric research lab on a long-shot effort to cook up a new type of ceramic that few consumers will ever ...

A team of researchers from the University of Birmingham has created ceramic micro-engines just a few mm in length. “It’s not a fuel cell. The difference is that a micro-engine gives a displacement, ...

The Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) Market in Aircraft Engines is likely to rise at a CAGR of 14.4% during 2023-2028, to reach US$ 421.1 million in 2028, states Stratview Research. DETROIT, Dec. 18, ...

Last year's $2 billion shutdown of European airspace following a volcanic eruption in Iceland alerted everyone to the danger that ash clouds can pose to aircraft engines. Now, researchers have ...

Carbon ceramic brakes are more lightweight and longer-lasting than traditional iron alternatives, but they tend to have ...

The global Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) Market in Aircraft Engines is segmented based on aircraft type, component type, engine type, application type, engine-zone type, material type, process type ...
