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.

Shrinking from the heat

Reactive fabrics respond to changes in temperature. New textiles developed at Aalto University change shape when they heat up, giving designers a wide range of new options. In addition to…

Solid-state thermal transistor demonstrated

An effective, stable solid-state electrochemical transistor has been developed, heralding a new era in thermal management technology. In modern electronics, a large amount of heat is produced as waste during…

Nanofluidic devices offer solutions for studying single molecule chemical reactions

In a chemical reaction, molecules in different substances meet one another to form new molecules causing changes in the bonds of their atoms. The molecules collide at an extremely close…

Engineered wood grows stronger while trapping carbon dioxide

Rice U. scientists’ method could lower both emissions and building construction costs. Rice University scientists have figured out a way to engineer wood to trap carbon dioxide through a potentially scalable,…

New superalloy could cut carbon emissions from power plants

Researchers repurpose 3D printing to discover high-performance material. As the world looks for ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions, researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have shown that a new 3D-printed…

New compound that withstands extreme heat and electricity

… could lead to next-generation energy storage devices. Flexible polymers made with a new generation of the Nobel-winning “click chemistry” reaction find use in capacitors and other applications. Society’s growing…
