In reality, the term &#8220;ceramic&#8221; encompasses a lot more than fired clay, and shaping some of the more exotic forms can be quite involved. Researchers from North Carolina State University (NCSU), however, have recently discovered a new way of shaping ceramics. It should be much more energy-efficient than present methods, making the entire process more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/ceramics\/\" rel=\"tag\">Ceramics<\/a>,<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/tag\/environmentally-friendly\/\" rel=\"tag\">Environmentally-friendly<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/3080\/\">CasioTransparent Ceramic Lens technology reduces zoom lens size<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/5101\/\">New technology makes stronger pistons<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/3-d-glass-printing-method-developed\/12963\/\">Glass casting meets the digital age: 3-D glass printing method developed<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/nanomaterial-boosts-data-storage-fuel-efficiency\/13176\/\">Newly developed nanomaterial could boost data storage density and cars&#8217; fuel efficiency<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/north-carolina-campus-goes-solar\/8670\/\">North Carolina campus goes solar<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/go\/6846\/\">Noise-cancelling piezo-ceramic bearings<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WrY6ubDtRxMzPNLck34A_qY87vo\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WrY6ubDtRxMzPNLck34A_qY87vo\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WrY6ubDtRxMzPNLck34A_qY87vo\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/WrY6ubDtRxMzPNLck34A_qY87vo\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?i=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?a=keNqIQRQjcY:_hXD3MNNSSA:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/GizmagEmergingTechnologyMagazine\/~4\/keNqIQRQjcY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of shaping ceramics, you probably think of a potter spinning a clay pot on a wheel, or perhaps even yourself making that piggy bank in art class.
