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.

Researchers measure carbon nanotube interaction

While they have proven useful for these purposes, no one really knows much about what’s going on at the molecular level. For example, how do nanotubes and…

Getting Light to Bend Backwards

While developing new lenses for next-generation sensors, researchers have crafted a layered material that causes light to refract, or bend, in a manner nature…

Iowa State engineers hope to build better roads by using ethanol co-products

Soil around the Midwest is mostly soft clay and till deposited by glaciers, said Halil Ceylan, an Iowa State assistant professor of civil, construction and…

Novel semiconductor structure bends light 'wrong' way — the right direction for many applications

A Princeton-led research team has created an easy-to-produce material from the stuff of computer chips that has the rare ability to bend light in the opposite…

Leading Experts In Organic Solar Cells Say The Field Is Being Damaged By Questionable Reports

“World record efficiencies are popping up almost every month, leading the OSC community into an endless and dangerous tendency to outbid the last report,”…

Sol-gel inks produce complex shapes with nanoscale features

The ability to directly pattern functional oxides at the nanoscale opens a new avenue to functional devices. Potential applications include micro-fuel cells,…
