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.
Novel catalyst material promises long-lasting, high-capacity, next-generation rechargeable batteries. At the heart of most electronics today are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). But their energy storage capacities are not enough for…
The breakthrough combines excellent electromagnetic shielding with ease of manufacture and electrical isolation. As electronic devices saturate all corners of public and personal life, engineers are scrambling to find lightweight,…
Graphene Flagship researchers report a new method to integrate graphene and 2D materials into semiconductor manufacturing lines, a milestone for the recently launched 2D-EPL project. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have a…
A team at the University of Colorado Boulder has designed new kinds of liquid crystals that mirror the complex structures of some solid crystals–a major step forward in building flowing…
Plasma processing modifies carbon black powder to catalyze valuable chemical. Rice University researchers have created a “defective” catalyst that simplifies the generation of hydrogen peroxide from oxygen. Rice scientists treated…
Filaments made of polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles are obtained by exposing the material to a magnetic field under controlled temperature; the applications are myriad and include transporting substances into cells…
