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.

Quick Reaction "Chromophores" Emerge as New Class of Semiconductors, Suitable for Nanoscale Electronics

In chemistry, a chromophore is any molecule or part of a molecule responsible for its color. Light hitting a chromophore excites an electron, which then emits…

Researchers Create New Organic Gel Nanomaterials

“We are using the building blocks provided by nature to create new nanomaterials that are completely reversible and environmentally benign,” said Jonathan…

Award-winning material

This is how it works: The Bremen-based scientists insert hollow glass balls measuring a maximum of 60 micrometers into the metal during casting. “If the glass…

New understanding of blades to lead to better cutting of super-hard high tech materials

Advanced materials like AlTiC, sapphire and SiC are now commonly used in many devices. One popular area that they are applied in is read/write head sliders for…

Soft materials buckle up for measurement

The new method uses “sensor films” with known properties to report the stiffness (or “modulus”) of the soft substrates to which they are attached. Compressing…

Sticky surfaces turn slippery with the flip of a molecular light switch

The new material, which is described in the June 19 issue of the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, could have a wide variety of applications,…
