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.

Storage technology keeps nanosurfaces clean

Containers attract, trap organic molecules that frequently foul nanosurfaces. Rice University engineers have created containers that can keep volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from accumulating on the surfaces of stored nanomaterials….

Protons set to power next-generation memory devices

A proton-driven approach that enables multiple ferroelectric phase transitions sets the stage for ultralow power, high-capacity computer chips. A proton-mediated approach that produces multiple phase transitions in ferroelectric materials could…

Liquid crystals that mimic beetle shell coloration units

… used to create more secure type of QR code. A research group led by Dr. Jialei He of Nagoya University’s Graduate School of Engineering has developed a method for…

Towards crack-resistant nanoparticle-based latex films

Scientists leverage a novel polymer interlocking mechanism to produce tough yet additive-free latex films. Synthetic polymer materials, such as plastics and rubbers, have become ubiquitous in our daily lives. It…

A foundation that fits just right gives superconducting nickelates a boost

It irons out wrinkles in thin films of these novel superconductors so scientists can see their true nature for the first time. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National…

Solar hydrogen: Barriers for charge transport in metal oxides

In the future, climate-neutral hydrogen will play an important role as a fuel and raw material. Hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water, either using an indirect approach in which…
