When humans are gone, nature will reclaim our cities and break down much of what we've built. But some of the things we've made will last much longer than others, and they're probably not the things you'd expect.

In this episode, we talk about Silicon Valley's namesake and how network solids are at the heart of it all. Hank also discusses Solid-State Semiconductors, N-Type and P-Type Semiconductors, Diodes, Transistors, Computer Chips,...

Today we’ll explore more about two of the three main types of materials that we use as engineers: metals and ceramics. We’ll discuss properties of metals, alloys, ceramics, clay, cement, and glass-ceramic materials. We’ll also look at...

We're continuing our look at engineering materials with third main type of material that you'll encounter as an engineer: polymers. They're made of long, repeating chains of smaller molecules known as monomers and today we'll explore...

Learn about Pittsburgh-based woodworker Hanna Dausch, who makes custom wood pieces by hand turning on a lathe.

Wari art, especially their colorful and detailed pottery, reflected both their religious beliefs and political power. Influenced by coastal cultures like the Nasca, Wari ceramics featured images of the staff deity, warriors, animals, and...

In going over some common types of artifacts, we just looked at lithics, or stone tools. Now let's look at ceramics and metal artifacts. There is a lot to analyze with ceramics, from the type of clay, temper, glazes, and of course the...

When you are done with a product, you dispose of it. What's the best way to get rid of it? Recycling plays a big part, hopefully, unless you hate the planet. This video discusses the importance of recycling and the different materials...

A key to building denser, stronger materials that won't fail or fracture under extreme conditions is the manufacture of ultra-high temperature, or UHT, ceramics. UHT ceramics can withstand highly extreme conditions, such as the heat...
