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.

Surprise in the quantum world

Disorder leads to ferromagnetic topological insulator. Magnetic topological insulators are an exotic class of materials that conduct electrons without any resistance at all and so are regarded as a promising…

Sculpting quantum materials for the electronics of the future

An international team led by the UNIGE has developed a quantum material in which the fabric of space inhabited by electrons can be curved on-demand. The development of new information…

Perovskite solar cells from the slot die coater

– a step towards industrial production. Eva Unger’s team investigated at BESSY II how precursor inks influence the quality of perovskite thin films. The best cells were scaled up to…

Scientists develop a ‘cosmic concrete’ that is twice as strong as regular concrete

Manchester scientists have created a new material, dubbed ‘StarCrete’ which is made from extra-terrestrial dust, potato starch, and a pinch of salt and could be used to build homes on…

World’s first microneedle-based drug delivery technique for plants

SMART researchers develop the world’s first microneedle-based drug delivery technique for plants It is the first time that polymeric silk microneedles have been used to deliver agrochemicals to a wide…

Soft robot that shifts from land to sea with ease

Highly dynamic bistable soft actuators allow for varied locomotion. Most animals can quickly transition from walking to jumping to crawling to swimming if needed without reconfiguring or making major adjustments….
