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.

New catalyst could enable better lithium-sulfur batteries, power next-gen electronics

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…

Polymer film protects from electromagnetic radiation, signal interference

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,…

A scalable method for the large-area integration of 2D materials

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…

Scientists create liquid crystals that look a lot like their solid counterparts

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…

‘Defective’ carbon simplifies hydrogen peroxide production

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…

Scientists create flexible biocompatible cilia that can be controlled by a magnet

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…
