Nanoceramics/nanocomposite are defined as novel bulk materials or coating with nanostructural architecture, characterized
by at least one of the ceramic phases having length scale between 1 and 1000 nm.
The major drive for wider interest in nanoceramics and its composites has been the fact that one can potentially achieve
better and some unusual material properties by manipulating length scale in the nano range. Therefore, better performance and
newer application of the materials, for example, durable bone replacement materials using polymer-ceramic nanobiocomposite
have now been made possible.
Nanoceramic surfaces enable the use of light weight Aluminium with ceramic surface instead of Steel or Titanium for a variety of applications. Aluminium is about three times lighter than Steel and nearly two times lighter that Titanium. The combination of light weight and high surface hardness are beneficial for fast moving parts and/or those that suffer from wear. Reduction of mass for moving parts means:
* lower energy consumption,
* reduction of friction losses
* lower inertia
* less impact on components
* higher speed of movement

Reddams Invitational was created in March of 2011 at Rileys in Folkstone near Canterbury and is a version of Blackball pool.
The creators are Owen Adams and Bobby Redding whose surnames combine to create the title of the sport.
The key feature of this version is that if a player plays a shot and a ball is not potted then the opponent receives one shot with ball in hand and may also nominate a ball in the same manner as a foul snooker.
The aim of the invention is to create a version of pool where it is impossible to use tactics, thus only using the skill of potting and positioning. It therefore creates a visit for a player of creating and processing a clearance of the table with a harsh punishment for missing.
History
To this date currently only two tournaments have been played.
They were both played in Rileys in Folkstone.
The first was a singles tournament played on English pool tables in which 15 players took part.
The winner was David Miller who then received a certificate of being the first person to win a Reddams Invitational tournament.
The second was a doubles tournament played on American pool tables which was played in the same manner except each team of two people would take alternating shots.
The winner was Benjamin Hubbard.
Rules
Generally the world rules apply for detailed specifications. (I.e. touching a cushion etc)
Here are the Reddams Rules.
* If a player misses the pocket then the opponent receives one shot with ball in hand and may also nominate a ball in the same manner as a foul snooker.
* If a player plays a break and a foul break is to occur then the opponent may receive ball in hand with two shots on an open table.
* If a ball is not potted after 5 shots have been played from a combination of both players then a re-rack occurs.
