From the kitchen to the cosmos, SCHOTT is the global leader in the area of glass-ceramics. CERAN® brand glass-ceramics have been conquering kitchens all over the world since 1973. And, with nearly zero thermal expansion, ZERODUR® glass-ceramic has served as the standard material for use in mirror substrates for the world's most powerful astronomical telescopes for over four decades. The commercialized know-how that has been amassed on this temperature-stable material in these areas is constantly further developed in SCHOTT’s research laboratories and offers options for many fields of the future, as these latest results clearly show.
