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.

Kirigami to make ultrastrong, lightweight structures

Produced with techniques borrowed from Japanese paper-cutting, the strong metal lattices are lighter than cork and have customizable mechanical properties. Cellular solids are materials composed of many cells that have…

Self-driving synchrotron coherent x-ray scattering on complex fluids

Soft materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from the food we eat to the products we use to the materials that make up our bodies. Some examples of soft…

Steam condenser coating could save 460M tons of CO2 annually

If coal and natural gas power generation were 2% more efficient, then, every year, there could be 460 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide released and 2 trillion fewer gallons…

Listening to nanoscale earthquakes

Crackling noise of atoms shifting at nanoscale key to understanding novel materials for future electronics. A recent UNSW-led paper published in Nature Communications presents an exciting new way to listen to avalanches…

Stabilizing precipitate growth at grain boundaries in alloys

Materials are often considered to be one phase, but many engineering materials contain two or more phases, improving their properties and performance. These two-phase materials have inclusions, called precipitates, embedded…

Efficient spray technique for bioactive materials

The process could usher in an era of shot-free vaccines, researchers say. Rutgers scientists have devised a highly accurate method for creating coatings of biologically active materials for a variety…
