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 insights into memristive devices by combining incipient ferroelectrics and graphene

Scientists are working on new materials to create neuromorphic computers, with a design based on the human brain. A crucial component is a memristive device, the resistance of which depends…

Predicting forces between oddly shaped nanoparticles

Simplified model of van der Waals forces will allow previously impossible simulations of how faceted nanoparticles self-assemble into larger structures. Materials scientists at Duke University have devised a simplified method…

Simulate until it sparks

The right material for the mobile communication standard of tomorrow. The performance of radio-frequency applications such as 5G or radar depends mainly on the materials and interconnects used. In order…

Solar perovskite production on a roll

Advanced ink formulations could be the key to turning perovskite solar cells (PSCs) from heroes of academic labs into commercially successful products. Researchers at KAUST have developed a perovskite ink…

Sustainable shotcrete mix-designs for tunnels with longer service-life

A project jointly initiated by the Austrian Society for Construction Technology (ÖBV), TU Graz and OTH Regensburg provides a more systematic understanding of shotcrete applications and forms the basis for…

Novel glass materials made from organic and inorganic components

Researchers from Jena and Cambridge develop glass materials with novel combinations of properties. Linkages between organic and inorganic materials are a common phenomenon in nature, e.g., in the construction of…
