CEITEC BUT Advanced Ceramics Research Groups presentation at Researchers' Night 2023

CEITEC BUT researchers captivated dozens of visitors with demonstrations on the mysteries of ceramics, including 3D printing, levitating ceramic superconductors and the fascinating applications of unique ceramics in ballistic protection.

On 6 October, CEITEC BUT Advanced ceramic materials and Advanced multifunctional ceramics research groups made their debut at Researchers' Night 2023. Scientists and students worked together to arouse the curiosity of visitors and reveal the enchanting secrets of the world under the theme "Mystery".

Prof. Maca presented the European GlaCerHub project to the Rector of BUT, Assoc. Prof. Ladislav Janíček (in the photo).

CEITEC BUT researchers captivated dozens of visitors with demonstrations on the mysteries of ceramics, including 3D printing, levitating ceramic superconductors and the fascinating applications of unique ceramics in ballistic protection. Visitors, particularly young ones, were able to create their own ceramic snowflake toys and witness the transformation of a liquid into a solid using ambient temperature and specific wavelengths of light. The team also unravelled simple mysteries of colours.
