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.

New glass-ceramic emits light when under mechanical stress

Transparent glassy material could be used to provide a light-based readout of stress in the body or buildings. Researchers have created a new glass-ceramic that emits light in response to…

Powder kit for more flexibility and material diversity in 3D printing

Materials by recipe: Powder-based laser beam melting (LPPF) is probably the best-known AM process and has great potential for industrial applications. But how can the limited range of materials for…

Cornerstone of a European supply chain for diamond-based quantum technologies

NV-doped diamond is one of the most promising materials for the realization of quantum technologies. So far, however, the availability in industrially suitable quality and quantity is severely limited. In…

Bioinspired protein creates stretchable 2D layered materials

Nature creates layered materials like bone and mother-of-pearl that become less sensitive to defects as they grow. Now researchers have created, using biomimetic proteins patterned on squid ring teeth, composite…

The best semiconductor of them all?

Researchers have found a material that can perform much better than silicon. The next step is finding practical and economic ways to make it. Silicon is one of the most…

Major advance in semiconductor materials

High carrier mobility in cubic boron arsenide offers promise for next-gen electronics. Researchers have for the first time experimentally discovered that a cubic boron arsenide crystal offers high carrier mobility…
