A new class of ceramics are not only transparent, but they can control light with exceptional efficiency—better than any ...

Ceramics also allow precise control over chemical composition and are easier to scale for mass production. The main obstacle, however, has always been transparency. Tiny internal defects normally ...

Unlike conventional ceramics, which are typically opaque or translucent, transparent ceramics are a specialized class of ceramics that allow light to pass through and achieve their clarity through ...

The unique characteristics of fluoride ceramics, including phonon energy, refractive index, and nonlinear refractive index, render them highly suitable as laser matrix materials. Fluoride-based laser ...

A new zentropy theory explains the superior light manipulation in transparent ceramics, paving the way for advanced, ...

A research team has successfully developed a new composition and processing technology for transparent plasma-resistant high-entropy ceramics. This innovation is the first of its kind in the world and ...

The super-hard window made of cubic silicon nitride can potentially be used under extreme conditions like in engines, researchers said. Scientists have synthesised the first transparent sample of a ...

See-through like glass, but heat-resistant and scratch-proof like ceramics – transparent ceramics are unique materials. Their manufacturing requires not only special know-how, but also specialized ...

Scientists have synthesized the first transparent sample of a popular industrial ceramic. The result is a super-hard window made of cubic silicon nitride that can potentially be used under extreme ...
