In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the lightweight materials of airplanes and rockets might soon be getting stronger. A new method for making ceramic materials — which are used in propellers and heat shields — has enabled the introduction of chemical compounds to bolster their strength and could also imbue them with other useful properties. The discovery was recently reported by researchers at Drexel University and Penn State University.

In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the lightweight ceramic materials used in airplanes and rockets might soon be getting stronger. A new cold sintering method discovered by researchers from Drexel Materials Professor Yury Gogotsi's lab and Penn State University has enabled the introduction of MXene to bolster ceramics' strength.

Is there anything MXene materials can’t do? Since the discovery of a large new family of two-dimensional materials by Drexel University researchers in 2011, continued exploration has revealed their exceptional ability to store energy, block electromagnetic interference, purify water and even ward off bacteria. And, as recent research now suggests, MXenes are also very durable — the strongest material of its kind, according to a new study in the journal Science Advances.
