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 way to ‘squeeze’ infrared light

Researchers have for the first time demonstrated that a specific class of oxide membranes can confine, or “squeeze,” infrared light – a finding that holds promise for next generation infrared…

AI for autonomous discovery and optimization of materials

Today, researchers are developing ways to accelerate discovery by combining automated experiments, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. A novel tool developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that leverages those technologies has…

New approach for controlling thermal emission

Finely created interfaces offer new design strategies beyond conventional materials for applications in infrared optics, sensing and more, researchers say. If a material absorbs light, it will heat up. That…

Synthetic leather made from recyclable and bio-based PBS

A new type of pure synthetic leather meets the high requirements of the European Ecodesign Regulation. Made from a bio-based plastic, it is biodegradable and meets the requirements for a…

Newly developed material logs and stores stress information of infrastructure

Identifying crumbling infrastructure is sometimes as difficult as rectifying it. Yet, this process has been made easier thanks to an innovative new material developed by Tohoku University researchers. The material…

FlamenCo, fire protection and wooden components on rails

The research project “Flame retardant coating: ecological fire protection in rail vehicles” (FlamenCo) at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE) is investigating a new fire protection varnish in rail…
