Single Crystal Blade

Just wondering about turbine blades and temperatures they are exposed to. I have heard of ceramic coated and of course full ceramic blades, however I have read about Single Crystal Blade(SCB) on the B777 engines(not sure which manufacturer).
Can anyone please explain what these SCB are and all the goodies about them. Obviously they can stand up to higher temps, however what materials are they made of and so on....

Many Thanks.....
