This recently published Special Issue of Advanced Engineering Materials, guest-edited by Eugene Medvedovski (Calgary, Canada) and Nahum Travitzky (Erlangen, Germany), is dedicated to novel processing of advanced ceramics, composites, and coatings. Th…

Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered unique characteristics in nanocomposite oxide ceramics that hold promise for nuclear fuels, fast ion conductors, ferroelectrics, and for storage of nuclear waste. Composites can be us…

Advanced ceramic composites can withstand the ultrahigh operational temperatures projected for hypersonic jet and next generation gas turbine engines, but real-time analysis of the mechanical properties of these space-age materials at ultrahi…
