Science Nation: Microwaves Heating Up Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) Ceramics Industry

Gloved hand holding two small dark discs. Caption: to bring ultra-high-temperature ceramics to marketplace.

A key to building denser, stronger materials that won’t fail or fracture under extreme conditions is the manufacture of ultra-high temperature, or UHT, ceramics. UHT ceramics can withstand highly extreme conditions, such as the heat coming out of a rocket as its launching into space. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
