Dedicated to the innovative design and use of ceramic materialsfor energy applications, this issue brings readers up to date withsome of the most important research discoveries and new andemerging applications in the field. Contributions come from theproceedings of three symposia, as well as the EuropeanUnion-USA Engineering Ceramics Summit. The three symposiaare: Ceramics for Electric Energy Generation, Storage, andDistribution; Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Nuclear andFusion Applications; and Advanced Materials and Technologies forRechargeable Batteries. An abundance of charts, tables, andillustrations are included throughout.
