For those of you new to Ceramic Tech Today, this year is a big milestone for The American Ceramic Society’s membership magazine, the Bulletin. Volume 100 is being published this year, and one way we’re celebrating is through an ongoing column that looks at the history of the Bulletin by decade.
In addition to looking back on our history, the Bulletin has continued to excel at its core goal of looking into the future at materials and technologies that are expected to have a big impact on the market within the next decade.
The feature articles published in Volume 100 so far have been outstanding, and we thank all of the authors for contributing their time and knowledge to this volume. Below are a few of the feature articles worth a first—or second—read, and be on the lookout for the August issue, which publishes online here Thursday, July 15.
ACerS members have access to all previous issues of the Bulletin through the Recent Bulletins page and Bulletin Archive Online, so consider joining us today!
