Materials management deals with the research, development, manufacturing and processing of raw and industrial materials. Key aspects here are biological and medical issues, which play an increasingly important role in this field.
innovations-report offers in-depth articles related to the development and application of materials and the structure and properties of new materials.
Eco-friendly 3D concrete printing. A research team led by engineers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science is the first to explore how an emerging plant-based material,…
Polymer patch made from dynamic polymer networks. New class of fiber-reinforced polymers in the circular economy. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM have developed…
Bacteria produce materials that are of interest to humans, such as cellulose, silk and minerals. The advantage of producing bacteria in this way is that it is sustainable, takes place…
… improves crystal quality and reduces environmental impact. Gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors can now be grown without ammonia, a toxic chemical that needs a sophisticated detoxifying system before it can…
… made possible with a novel way to assess wire bonding materials. To understand the quality of a wire bond with a semiconductor chip, they are subjected to shear tests…
Scientists demonstrated that a materials characterization technique can be successful at a new type of facility, and they used it to discover a hidden materials phase. Scientists from the U.S….
