Ca₃UN₄ is an experimental ceramic compound combining calcium, uranium, and nitrogen—a member of the nitride ceramic family being investigated for advanced nuclear fuel and materials research applications. This material remains primarily in research and development phases rather than established commercial production, with potential interest in nuclear fuel cycles and high-performance ceramic applications where uranium-bearing compounds may provide unique thermal or neutron properties.
