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.

At the edge of graphene-based electronics

Georgia Tech researchers developed a new nanoelectronics platform based on graphene – a single sheet of carbon atoms. A pressing quest in the field of nanoelectronics is the search for…

Nanoantennas directing a bright future

Titanium oxides found to significantly increase efficiency and photoluminescence. White LEDs may soon be dethroned as the world’s go-to light source by an alternative with a much better sense of…

An X-ray step towards superfast nanoelectronics

When a material with magnetic properties, constructed from appropriately selected layers, is illuminated by a pulse from an X-ray laser, it instantly demagnetises. This phenomenon, so far poorly understood, could in…

Rice flashes new life into lithium-ion anodes

Fast ‘green’ process revives essential battery components for reuse. How many rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are you wearing? How many are in your general vicinity? Probably more than a few, and…

Say hello to the toughest material on Earth

A new study reveals the profound properties of a simple metal alloy. Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of…

Watching viruses fail

Using a new analytical method, Empa researchers have tracked viruses as they pass through face masks and compared their failure on the filter layers of different types of masks. The…
