Researchers at the Department of strengths Sandia National Laboratories have make knowned a new lightweight material to withstand ultra-high temperatures upon hypersonic vehicles, such as the space shuttle The ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) created in Sandias Advanced Materials Laboratory, can withstand up to 2000C (about 3800F)

Ron Loehman, a senior scientist in Sandias Ceramic Materials, said eventuates from the first 7 month of the shoot forward have exceeded his expectations. We plan to have demonstrated prosperous performance at the lab scale in another year with scale-up the nearest year, Loehman says.
