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.
With “DiWan” Fraunhofer IWS takes materials testing to a new level. Scientists of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS at Dresden in cooperation with partners from research…
Study shows how to make stable and large aerogels that remove heavy metals, organic solvents, organic dyes. Graphene excels at removing contaminants from water, but it’s not yet a commercially…
Nanothin antimicrobial coating could prevent and treat potentially deadly infections. Researchers have developed a new superbug-destroying coating that could be used on wound dressings and implants to prevent and treat…
It’s an example of how surprising properties can spontaneously emerge in complex materials — a phenomenon scientists hope to harness for novel technologies. Creating a two-dimensional material, just a few…
A clean energy future propelled by hydrogen fuel depends on figuring out how to reliably and efficiently split water. That’s because, even though hydrogen is abundant, it must be derived…
Heidelberg scientists achieve defect control with a new reaction pathway. The properties of carbon-based nanomaterials can be altered and engineered through the deliberate introduction of certain structural “imperfections” or defects….
