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.

Intricate, Curving 3D Nanostructures Created Using Capillary Action Forces

The process is called “capillary forming,” and it takes advantage of capillary action, the phenomenon at work when liquids seem to defy gravity and travel up a…

Behind-the-scenes advances underpin new super-strong plastics

C&EN Senior Editor Alexander Tullo notes that the catalysts, called “metallocenes,” engendered excitement years ago because they allowed production of stronger…
