The future of materials: Advanced Ceramics

[PeekyBooo]

Well we know Global-Warmign was a farce.

[PeekyBooo]

Could it have been 1million and 1 day?

OMG get past the theory on evolution crap.

[comanchio1976]

@nighthawk121180 I agree, I think the positive comments were written and thumbs upped by him and his mother.

[IndianInk214]

sounds like smart jerry seinfeld

[rodgarcia80]

What would happen if a boron carbonide bullet hits a boron carbonide armor?

[usernameusername698]

@rodgarcia80 It would disrupt space time.

[clap5]

how about ceramic pistons?

[emerickmage]

Too much sales and not enough engineer.

[benshuch]

indeed an interesting topic, I just recently discovered this area of work as one of my clients is in the business of Ceramic Injection Molding and technical ceramics. (adamou.ch for those interested)

lol two of pics didnt show! 21:01

.....super video...

Chuckled a bit when he was like "and as far as solar cells go...fused silica is the crucible!" Don't mention awesome semiconductor materials or anything, mention the crucible.

Science is not considering design of common building materials. Those materials remain outdated by millennia. Huge energy goes into manufacture of building materials then lighting, heating, and cooling buildings. An "advanced" architectural material has not been invented yet. It is transparent, it lets in the light. It is structural, stronger than steel. It is lightweight. It is thermally super-insulating, it is non-corrosive to the elements. It is easy to work with, and most of all it is cheap.

[lacanxx]

They are considering the design of them...its just that having all of those things you listed in one material...i'm pretty sure is theoretically impossible. There are limits for dense materials(a.k.a. anything you want to be strong enough to build with) and the lattice thermal conductivity. Being transparent and at the same time malleable takes off most crystalline materials, and whats left doesn't have the mechanical properties. There are only so many elements and ways to put them together.

[tallinnmark]

Thanks for a reply. I didn't mention malleability as a requirement. For instance glass microspheres are by nature incredibly strong and are even used presently as insulating material. Perhaps something bigger than a microsphere would be optimal while retaining these desirable properties. Perhaps translucent is all that could be achievable. Perhaps they could be poured into a mold like concrete and fused together into a honeycomb material suitable for building purposes.

ceradyne?...aren't they the ones who invented the terminator robot?!

[mctayong]

Helpful for me though, and even you guys learned something from him...

anyways, there is always a boring part in a discussion :).

[nialljmurphy]

thanks for the info. writting my dissertation on future materials so u have been very helpful. cheers mate

[SG227]

for whatever reason I have a hard time listening to this guy... cool topic nonetheless

[CT2507]

because he takes a fucking long time to get to the advanced ceramics!

[yoda2299]

By the way this was from Noah and Anne in Charleston, SC.

[yoda2299]

Hi Peter!

I loved your presentation, and found it fascinating. You have made this material both interesting AND informative. Good job!!!!!!!!!

[krufffy]

In essense he's giving a short history of ceramics and then details all the applications of ceramics he considers fascinating. It becomes boring after a few minutes .. at least for me.

[fighterfool]

this guy is boring, but the subject is interesting

[RuddODragonFear]

God, the voice nuance of the guy is GRATING.

[DancingSpiderman]

@RuddODragonFear i gree. The low froggy way he begins each sentence, with the "ahhh". DON'T DO THE FROGGY in the voice thing. Just pretend as if you are talking to the person you are most comfortable with. If people make you uncomfortable, to heck with them in your own mind. If people don't grok your topic, no bother. Just quit dipping your voice into the froggy region like that. But I give him a break too, because he's still a kid.

Herif kafayi seramikle cizmis. Birak bu isleri, dunyaya geri don.

[jgoldstein7]

Who knew ceramics could be so fascinating?! Very interesting and educational talk on a material most of us know so little about!

[open2Learn2]

I found this very interesting and couldn't believe how many things in ceramics are related to everyday usage

[wildchildplasma]

Hows about using the ones you've got with beter intuition. Or understanding anything.

Why bother.

[rektide]

Got back to a 386, advanced material science doesnt want you either.

All advances in civilization have been a direct result of advances in material science.
