Amazing material has been invented by the physicists of the Institute of Solid-State Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences (Chernogolovka) - the REFSIC heat-resistant ceramic material. The goods made of this ceramics can be heated almost instantly up to about two thousand degrees and cooled as quickly as heated, with the material not cracking and not losing either strength or solidity. Moreover, if a saw is made of such material, it would not get blunted for а long time, and a burning hot pin made of this material would make instantly a hole in a concrete wall without producing noise or dust.
