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.
Lithium batteries power our phones, computers, many of our cars and so much more — even the drill and weedwhacker. But as technology advances, can they keep up in their…
In addition to helping combat antimicrobial resistance, the bioparticle developed at the Federal University of São Paulo avoids the waste and pollution created by excessive amounts of drugs in water…
… replaces per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) on everyday products. Fluorine-free into the future Whether it is pans, cutlery or packaging, per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) have been used for…
Self-healing crystals could improve materials used in today’s electronics. In a surprising new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have found that the electron beam radiation that…
Defects can make a material stronger or make it fail catastrophically; Knowing how fast they travel can help researchers understand things like earthquake ruptures, structural failures and precision manufacturing. Settling…
Rolling bearings are installed wherever something is in rotation. The wide range of applications extends from large wind turbines to small electric toothbrushes. These bearings, which consist of steel components,…
