The article states that the Engineering Ceramics Division has announced the Best Poster and Best Paper award winners from the 30th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics & Composites, held at Cocoa Beach, Florida, in January 2006. The first place for the Best Poster award was won by the poster titled "Damage and Residual Stress Fields about Hertzian Indents in Different Grain-Sized Aluminas," by K. Johanns, A. Wereszczak and M. Lance.

The article discusses the advancement and potential applications of glass-ceramics since their accidental discovery to their development as commercial products in the U.S. It highlights the breakthrough of glass-ceramics in 1953 which resulted to the global publication of papers related to the said invention by several universities, research institutes and companies. It further explores the advantages of these fired earth products and their uses in various field applications.

The article offers information on the fabrication of ceramic foams by researchers at the Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology that can be used to three dimensionally print cellular materials. Topics discussed include the views of Jennifer Lewis, author of the research paper, on it; the microstructural control that one gets from foam processing; and the possibility of making multifunctional materials using this method.

The article discusses how researchers at HRL Laboratories LLC in Malibu, California developed a way to additively manufacture ceramics that overcome the limits of traditional ceramic processing and allows high-temperature, high-strength ceramic components. It references the paper, "Additive manufacturing of polymer-derived ceramics" which was published in the journal "Science."

The article reports on the efforts of University of Michigan (UM) researchers to create a prototype of a heart-powered pacemaker. In Great Britain, they gave a paper in 2008 that describes some successes about a pacemaker based on harvesting heart energy. Amin Karami and Daniel Inman of UM have engineered the ceramic layer to a zigzag shape that can harvest vibrations across frequencies. Their pacemaker concept is explained in their paper that appeared in "Applied Physics Letters."

The article focuses on various findings of research papers posted on the website of the journal, "Journal of the American Ceramics Society." The research paper titled "Discrete Element Simulations of the Compaction of Aggregated Ceramic Powders," concluded that the influence of bond size and morphology is evaluated on the powder macroscopic behavior. Another paper concluded that the anions of the magnesium salt and hydrogen power affect on the growth of magnesium aluminate platelets.

A list of ceramic science papers posted on the online version of the "Journal of the American Ceramics Society" is presented. The papers include "Spark Plasma Sintering Behavior of Nano-Sized (Ba, Sr)TiO3 Powders: Determination of Sintering Parameters Yielding Nanostructured Ceramics," "Titania Nanoflowers With High Photocatalytic Activity," and "Low-Fired Processing and Properties of Ferrite + Dielectric Ceramic Composite."

These papers include "Tailoring of the Lead Metaniobate Ceramic Processing," "Sensitivity of Scratch Resistance to Grinding-Induced Damage Anisotropy in Silicon Nitride," "Ceramic Bodies with Complex Geometrics and Ceramic Shells by Freeze Casting Using Ice as Mold Material."

The article discusses the results of research by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) scientists led by Jens Bauer aimed at determining that if the size of the building blocks of the ceramic microlattice structures they built two years ago was even smaller, the material would be more flaw tolerant and much stronger. It references the paper "Approaching theoretical strength in glassy carbon nanolattices" that was published in the journal "Nature Materials."

The article reports that a new paper in 2015 written by Sylvain Deville and Adam J. Stevenson published in the "Journal of the American Society" have examined bibliographic records to understand the evolution of a ceramic research domain from 1962 to 2015.

The article discusses the highlights of the International Bauxite, Alumina and Aluminum Society (IBAAS) held in Nagpur, India from December 3 to 5, 2012. Scientific sessions involved technical papers while the special sessions delved into the processing innovations in aluminum ceramics and new applications of alumina ceramics. The Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI) announced that it developed a process for converting inferior grade bauxite into refractory grade type.

The article presents the highlights of the 36th International Conference & Exposition on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) in Daytona Beach, Florida in February 2012 featuring 1,000 engineers and scientists from 41 countries who presented 850 papers in 15 symposia and four focus sessions.
