Ceramics have played and continue to play an essential role in modern society, propelling the advancement of science and technology. Historically, ceramics research has led to the creation of new theories, innovative processes, novel materials, and advanced functionalities. In recent years, remarkable innovations in ceramic materials have inspired a large number of research efforts pursuing new knowledge. This symposium aims to provide a dedicated forum to discuss the fundamental and frontier science of advanced ceramics, as well as emerging applications of new processing technologies and ceramic materials. The symposium will cover all aspects of basic ceramic sciences and the utilization of new technologies, processing methods, and materials, including but not limited to: High-entropy ceramics; Novel sintering technologies; Optical ceramics; Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics; Interface and grain boundary engineering; Atomic-level materials design; Advanced characterization techniques. Our focus will be on emerging processing technologies and novel ceramic materials. Topics will cover all aspects of basic ceramic sciences, as well as the utilization of new technologies, processing methods, and materials for applications in key fields such as sustainable environment, healthcare, and energy.
