Morgan Advanced Ceramics Protects Small Sensitive Components
Tiny ceramic caps, each as thin and as small as a fingernail, provide critical protection for sensitive electronic components in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave industries, creating a sealed enclosure that protects components from dust, moisture and other contaminants. The protective caps, also called "lids," are constructed of high purity Alumina ceramic from the GBC Materials business of Morgan Advanced Ceramics (MAC) located in Latrobe, PA,. 

Morgan Electro Ceramics Powers the Ultreo Ultrasonic Toothbrush
Innovative products, like the new Ultreo Ultrasound Toothbrush, start with a pioneering spirit and a creative new idea. Dr. Pierre Mourad, a research associate professor in the University of Washington Department of Neurological Surgery, had been discouraged by the cleaning ability of his ordinary power toothbrush. He wondered if ultrasound, something he manipulates every day in his laboratory, could transform ordinary bubbles into pulsating bubbles that could help remove plaque bacteria and produce a deep, long-lasting feeling of clean.
