Materials Sciences

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.

Connecting the dots between material properties and qubit performance

Brookhaven Lab and Princeton scientists team up to identify sources of loss of quantum information at the atomic scale. Engineers and materials scientists studying superconducting quantum information bits (qubits)—a leading quantum computing material platform…

Licking a Tootsie Roll® sensor to monitor health

Single-use diagnostic tests often aren’t practical for health professionals or patients in resource-limited areas, where cost and waste disposal are big concerns. So, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have…

Making waves: A contactless way to detect damage in transparent materials

Scientists develop a convenient approach to spot microscopic scratches on transparent surfaces using a laser and a polarization camera. Transparent materials have become an essential component in a wide variety…

Tracking muscle activity with clothes on your back

Printing metals onto cloth makes for comfortable, low-cost, and effective biosensors. Bioelectrical sensors on the skin can be used to measure electrical signals in the body, like heart activity and…

Melting glasses from unmeltable compounds

Chemists at the University of Jena are developing a way of melting normally unmeltable metal-organic framework compounds – so-called MOFs. This allows the melt-based production of glass components for applications…

Unbreakable glass inspired by seashells

Strongest and toughest glass known developed by McGill University scientists. Scientists from McGill University develop stronger and tougher glass, inspired by the inner layer of mollusk shells. Instead of shattering…
