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.

Flexing the power of a conductive polymer

A new material holds promise for the next generation of organic electronics. For decades, field-effect transistors enabled by silicon-based semiconductors have powered the electronics revolution. But in recent years, manufacturers…

Boron nitride nanotube fibers get real

Rice lab creates first heat-tolerant, stable fibers from wet-spinning process. Boron nitride nanotubes used to be hard to process, according to Rice University researchers. Not anymore. A Rice team led by…

Technique allows researchers to align gold nanorods with magnetic fields

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a technique that allows them to align gold nanorods using magnetic fields, while preserving the underlying optical properties of the gold nanorods. “Gold…

3D printing technique to build robots in one single step

Advance shows promise for “meta-bots” designed to deliver drugs or aid rescue missions. A team of UCLA engineers and their colleagues have developed a new design strategy and 3D printing…

Successful development of pentacene derivative

… that has 100 times more light durability than conventional products. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists synthesize new photostable organic semiconductor. Due to their high hole mobility, pentacene and its derivatives…

Exciting light emission and measuring temperature with ultrasound

Material scientists at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany have developed a mechanoluminescent material that can not only be used to generate a local heat input by means of ultrasound, but…
