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.

An entirely new display technology

Researchers develop stretchable OLED display. Imagine a thin, digital display so flexible that you can wrap it around your wrist, fold it in any direction, or curve it over your…

Multi-compartment membranes for multicellular robots

… everybody needs some body. The typical image of a robot is one composed of motors and circuits, encased in metal. Yet the field of molecular robotics, which is being…

Breakthrough in magnetic quantum material paves way for ultra-fast sustainable computers

The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties are believed to pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types…

We add Biology to Industry 4.0

»BioFusion 4.0« transfers principles from nature into industrial manufacturing to achieve sustainable and circular value creation. At this year‘s Hannover Messe from April 17 to 21, 2023, Fraunhofer IPK demonstrates…

Scientists use computational modeling to design “ultrastable” materials

These highly stable metal-organic frameworks could be useful for applications such as capturing greenhouse gases. Materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a rigid, cage-like structure that lends itself to…

Bionic robot arms as flexible and gentle as an elephant’s trunk

Artificial muscles and nerves made from the shape memory alloy nickel-titanium are making robot arms as supple and agile as their animal counterparts. But these artificial limbs also weigh less,…
