Calcite is the most stable mineral form of calcium carbonate encountered everywhere from ocean corral and oyster shells to hard water scale deposits in place such as pipes, showers, and dishwashers. When calcite precipitates from solutions of calcium carbonate the process begins with amorphous precu...

At the recent event for Alexander von Humboldt Fellows, the German President got a chance to meet Prof. Ali Hussain, who is currently working at the Institute of Glass and Ceramics. Prof. Hussain is research more sustainable lead-free materials for solid state energy storage devices. These systems a...

FAU and TH Nürnberg are conducting joint research into how to make glass production greener in future 2022 is the international year of glass. And yet many glass factories are struggling to survive. High energy costs and considerable CO2 emissions mean that glass production faces a challenging futu...

As part of the collaboration between FAU and Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, the IRTG offers four new interdisciplinary graduate level lectures on device development and advanced characterization methods in the summer semester 2022. Those week-long lectures (5 ECTS) will be given by a joint F...

This is the latest paper on the characterization of auxtic honeycomb structures within the framework of the GRK 2495. In this paper we demonstrate as a new concept the determination of the mechanical strength of opaque ceramic structures by the use of non-destructive, stress-optical measurements on ...
